Working fine here with the latest ICS version 8 and OpenSSL:

08:32:49 - Sending Mail 
< 220 smtp.gmail.com ESMTP j18sm18013427wmd.2 - gsmtp
08:32:49 - SMTP Session Connected to 74.125.206.108:587
> EHLO PC20
< 250-smtp.gmail.com at your service, [82.33.197.157]
< 250-SIZE 35882577
< 250-8BITMIME
< 250-STARTTLS
< 250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES
< 250-PIPELINING
< 250-CHUNKING
< 250 SMTPUTF8
> STARTTLS
< 220 2.0.0 Ready to start TLS
Starting SSL handshake

The EHLO argement is supposed to be a host name, not an email address,
many SMTP servers will refuse the connection unless a reverse DNS check
works.  Not sure why you are using an email address, the ICS default is
the computer name.
