Comment (by sukhbir):

 Yes, that's expected behaviour because on re-enabling TorBirdy, it sets
 secure defaults for all existing mail servers in case they have been
 configured incorrectly. While I agree that we can be "smart" about it, for
 now it just upgrades all settings to the secure defaults, which in this
 case is SSL/TLS. Does your server not support SSL/TLS? Using that is
 probably the easiest (and perhaps the only for now) solution to this
 problem.

 If I set up an SMTP server in thunderbird to use STARTTLS, it works fine
 until I install torbirdy (0.2.3) at which point the setting is changed to
 SSL/TLS. If I manually change it back to STARTTLS it works fine, until I
 disable and re-enable torbirdy, which causes the server security setting
 to switch back to SSL/TLS again.
