It is very much so. SSL is implemented via smtps (and depreciated), and
is essentially just SMTP being wrapped with SSL. TLS has been integrated
fully into SMTP (forgot the RFC here) via the STARTTLS (STLS in POP3)
command.
Thus your MTA seems to be coerced into attempting an TLS connection (this
is advertised w/ the EHLO response)... and it's being denied. Likely
because of lack of certificate. If your MTA didn't support TLS at all,
you {probably,should} see a different error message.
