See update-exim4.conf(8).

No, because passwd.client is interpreted as colon-separated triplet.
String above will be interpreted as "465" as username and
"user@some.domain:SECRETpw" as a password.

No, not in Debian. Debian's exim should use TLS for mail exchange
without any configuration providing that your smarthost advertises it.
Advertising TLS on your MTA - that does require some configuration
indeed - exim4_exim_crt(5), but that's redundant in your setup.
