I'd rather let the MTA listen on the submission ports. But it shouldn't 
  matter much.

Why would authorisation be optional on port 465? It should be mandatory 
and user submission on port 25 should be forbidden (or at the most 
allowed for the local network). Way back port 465 was meant to be used 
for smtps (a bad idea to begin with), nowadays (for the last decade or 
so I believe) that's not the case anymore and the port has been assigned 
to something completely different (first some Cisco TV thing, now URL 
Rendesvous Directory for SSM, see 
http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers). So totally closing port 
465 is the best thing, were it not for braindead clients.
