First, you're mixing terms. STARTTLS, is a protocol command that is
used AFTER a connection (NOT including login) has been made in the
clear. SSL usually refers to a SSL-wrapped protocol that is encrypted
from the start.
That being said, I believe that OE can do both for SMTP (it uses
STARTTLS on port 25 and SSL on any other port), and it only does SSL for
IMAP.
