AFAIK Exim supports tls_on_connect on any port you specify.  RTFM.

I'd love for you to show me where in TFM it says that Exim supports tls_on_connect as a _client_. One would expect a tls_on_connect option on the SMTP transport; chapter 30 (which I have read, have you?) makes it clear that option does not exist:

RTFMLA if you don't believe me, and want Philip's word on it:

I'm not saying I don't believe anyone, hell, it's obviously not working for me that's why I'm here... I'm just telling you what I read ... looks like it wasn't in the manual, but in a README that came with my distribution (Debian)... and maybe I'm just misunderstanding it? I'm at the point now where I can no longer tell which way is up.

exim4 as TLS/SSL client
------
Both exim4-daemon-heavy and exim4-daemon-light support TLS/SSL using the
GnuTLS library and exim will use TLS *automatically* as client if the
server exim connects to offers it. You can stop reading now if you are
not setting up a mailserver which needs to offer TLS for incoming
connections.
