Why do you think this not a duplicate of bug 63388 comment 39?
> A few related changes have resulted in this situation for LO 6.1

Is there a reason you can't use port 587?

A patch commit message states:
> Port 465 was temporarily recommended, but OFFICIALLY has long since been
> abandoned. However, LOTS of documentation and ISPs still recommend it as
> the port to use. I confirmed that 465 DOES NOT support STARTTLS (in gmail)
