[Alexey Studitsky]

So, to sum up, all you need is to change 465 to 587 port and mark Use TLS checkbox:

I am having the same issue with Confluence Server. Jira mails are going out fine with the same configuration as confluence. I have changed port to 587 and TLS ticked but receive the same error message. JIra timeout is set to 60000ms. Any ideas anyone?

[Alexey Studitsky]

What does telnet return from Confluence server to mail server through 465 port?
