It is not just a matter of choice. Standard ports for known services

Assuming this is a company/closed group server, I think mapping the port
to something else is a good idea. He just needs to inform the change to
the users. SMTP is not a web service that the whole world needs to
connect to. Even TLS/SSL enabled mail servers routinely use ports like
467 or 587, sometimes interchangeably.
Vamsee.
