Adjusting as needed for commands and paths on your system, yes.
But the threat being defended against is not the simplest one

- MITM intercepting STARTTLS, forcing downgrade to cleartext
- MITM terminating TLS and retransmitting to target
- MITM intercepting DNS, forcing diversion to a different MTA
