        I also tried
   openssl s_client -connect smtp.suddenlink.net:465 -starttls=smtp

        That gets you:

Didn't find STARTTLS in server response, trying anyway...

Well, yes: on port 465 you do not use '-starttls=smtp' because port 465 is 'implicit TLS' or 'wrapper-mode TLS' and starts the handshake at connect, like HTTPS on port 443. You CAN use '-starttls=smtp' on port 25 or 587.
