Having looked at the code some more, Eric is right, it should all just
work, if smtpmail-stream-type is set to nil or 'starttls. The code
forces TLS for port 465, and falls back to the value of
smtpmail-stream-type otherwise, so itʼs possible you had this set to
'tls, which would explain the error message you saw.
