Are you sure? I doubt it: mail.gmx.net, smtp.web.de, mail.uni.de, ...
It least one, if not all, of these servers should support it.
For SMTP there is no simple stunnel used like for example in SPOP3 and
SNTTP, a normal ESMTP extention (send 'EHLO your.domain', search for
'STARTTLS' in the answer) is used instead.
BTW: You should add POP3 STLS support too.

Postfix, Exim, Sendmail, ... do you know a SMTP server without SSL
support? ;-) if you want to install one locally, if not use one from a
(free) (mail) provider like www.arcor.de, gmx.net, www.myrealbox.com,
... for testing.
You don't even have to have an account on such a SMTP server, just use
for example postman.arcor.de for testing and as soon as you get to the
'relaying denied' error everything works (already getting the answer
after a STARTTSL without error to the 2nd, encrypted EHLO is enough) ...
