I am inclined to avoid the word "opportunistic". Judging by the confusion
over the meaning of the word, and the several possible meanings that
people gave at the meeting last week, I don't think its jargon usage is
precise enough to be helpful. And its dictionary meaning has some slightly
unpleasant overtones.

How about the straightforwardly descriptive terms "unauthenticated
STARTTLS" and "DANE STARTTLS"?

STARTTLS implies this is an upgrade from cleartext, which I think you said
last week was one of the concepts you wanted to capture in the phrase. And
unauthenticated vs DANE should suggest the key security difference.
