TLSREQUIRED just means that TLS is required for SMTP AUTH (because else
the password would be cleartext). Now in your case you need to set
AUTHREQUIRED too so that the client must authenitcate first but because of
TLSREQUIRED it needs to do STARTTLS befor AUTH and so you get an encrypted
& authenticated session.
