Whilst secure SMTP is fine from most email clients, I've got a few server applications (e.g. apache web server) that send emails, and as far as I know need a native SMTP server to relay off.
Having a quick search around the web there does seem to be ways of getting apache to send through an SSL based server and there should be no reason why the other programs can't either

Authenticated and SSL SMTP is not new, and not all ISPs run their own outbound servers anyway
