465 *may* work as [pure | legacy] SSL, yes.

IF the MTA is still so configured.

But an MTA should no longer BE so configured.

Given that:

A) 465 was never, ever, formally finalized and adopted by IANA/IETF for 
'official' smtp submission use, despite de-facto co-option for a decade or two 
while the battle raged...

.. and 587 was finally adopted...

and

B) 465  *was* formally and officially turned-over to a Cisco protocl WEF 
February of .. several years ago now...

Ergo .. running 465 as an SSL-smtp submission port is technically an RFC 
violation, and SHOULD be discontinued.

Mind, I won't hold my breath waiting...
