You might have to turn off the default MSA and define your own with:

    FEATURE(`no_default_msa')
    DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp, Name=MTA')dnl
    DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=587, Name=MSA, M=E')
    DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtps, Name=TLSMTA, M=s')

I can't test a TLS setup right now, as I am running another test for a
few hours.  Try the above and if it fails, let me know.
