The smtp3.monitor (available in the latest pre-1.0.0 release from: ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/software/admin/mon/devel/) has an option to verify that TLS is offered by the target smtp server(s). This monitor also excercises the smtp server a bit more than smtp.monitor by getting to the point in the protocol where the server is ready to accept mail which is important if you are running Sendmail with a required milter. Note that this conversation is not carried out via TLS.
It is easy to talk SSL/TLS to a Web server using pure Perl (see http_tppnp.monitor, for example) but it is probably a lot more difficult to communicate via TLS to an smtp server.
