I use the Option speed_adjust so Postfix open a new session to amavis in a 
proxy setup. I think Postfix should use starttls even if the client don't use 
starttls.

One could of course use stunnel (verify level >= 3 for actual MITM
protection) or IPsec, ...  to create an encrypted channel between the two 
end-points.  It would also be possible to write an SMTP proxy that encapsulates 
cleartext SMTP sessions via STARTTLS (thus avoiding the need for additional 
configuration to terminate an IPsec or stunnel on the remote side).
