Do you definitely need port 465, not 587?

The steps below aren't something I've needed to do

My notes for the steps I did when setting up exim are...
Install exim4, ca-certificates and s-nail.
Run 'dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config' and answer questions...
General type of mail configuration: "mail sent by smarthost; received via SMTP or fetchmail"
System mail name: "yxit.co.uk"
IP-addresses to listen on for incoming SMTP connections: ""
Other destinations for which mail is accepted: "home"
Machines to relay mail for: "192.168.0.0/22"
IP address or host name of the outgoing smarthost: "mail.myisp.co.uk::587"
Hide local mail name: "Yes"
Visible domain name for local users: "yxit.co.uk"
Keep number of DNS-queries minimal (Dial-on-Demand)? "No"
Delivery method for local mail: "Maildir format in home directory"
Split configuration into small files?: "Yes"
Edit /etc/exim4/passwd.client to add
mail.myisp.co.uk:usename@myisp.co.uk:password
