I was using 465 because that's how my email client (alpine) uses the

Yes, mail.messagingengine.com still seems to accept connections on tcp
465. If that works for you with alpine then leave it alone. Just be
aware that since 465 is deprecated, they may choose to discontinue
allowing sending of mail that way in the future. Since tcp 465 uses
ssl from the start of the connection, exim would likely require
additional configuration to be able to send mail on tcp 465. I'm not
an exim expert though, so don't know what specifically that additional
configuration would be.
