Do you want to use TLS or SSL? It looks like you are testing SSL but you
are trying to use TLS.

If you want to test TLS, something like this should do it:

  $ openssl s_client -starttls smtp -connect smtp.welho.com:465

(maybe you need another port, like port 25).

Port 25 _with starttls_ is not insecure.
