good old reliable telnet:

e.g.
$ telnet mail.domain.com 587
Trying 122.xx.xx.xx...
Connected to mail.domain.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 mail.domain.com - Welcome to Qmail Toaster Ver. 1.3 SMTP Server ESMTP
ehlo mail
250-mail.domain.com - Welcome to Qmail Toaster Ver. 1.3 SMTP Server
250-STARTTLS
250-PIPELINING
250-8BITMIME
250-SIZE 20971520
250 AUTH LOGIN PLAIN CRAM-MD5

IIRC port 587 is enabled by default so you don't need to do anything, and
IMO you don't have to activate port 465, port 587 will suffice.

You're problem is how to enable your QMail server to accept mail from mobile
users, the default configuration is to only allow localhost. You can use
'pop3 before smtp' or smtp-auth, just google  for more info.
