Set your t-bird to use "STARTTLS" for the outgoing server.  Fixed it for 
me when I ran into that problem.

There's probably a fix in either postfix or dovecot, but from what I can 
see, there's no real security concerns over explicitly starting a TLS 
session (via STARTTLS) vs. using implicit TLS.
