SSMTP is doable, but deprecated in favour of STARTTLS on port 25.

You want something like this:
#
# welcome banner
#
smtp_banner = "$primary_hostname ESMTP Exim $version_number
#$compile_number $tod_full"
# enable SMTP and MSA
#daemon_smtp_ports = 25 : 587 : 465
daemon_smtp_ports = 25 : 587
#enable TLS
log_selector = +subject +tls_cipher+tls_peerdn
tls_advertise_hosts = *
# adjust below to suit your requirements
#tls_require_ciphers = TLSv1+HIGH : !SSLv2 : RC4+MEDIUM : !aNULL :
!eNULL : !3DES : @STRENGTH
tls_require_ciphers =
AES256+SHA256:AES+SHA:!SSLv2:RC4+MEDIUM:!eNULL:!aNULL:@STRENGTH
tls_certificate = /etc/exim4/exim.crt
tls_privatekey = /etc/exim4/exim.key
#tls_on_connect_ports = 465
MAIN_TLS_ENABLE = true
# advertise auth to TLS sessions only
auth_advertise_hosts = ${if eq {$tls_cipher}{}{}{*}}

Suggest you read:
http://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch-encrypted_smtp_connections_using_tlsssl.html
Then you can use the $tls_cipher variable which is set to the name of
the cipher in use, or null on clear connections, as part of the HELO ACL
to simply return a message to the connected host that says something to
the effect of:
554 You must say STARTTLS to use an encrypted session
in return to a HELO/EHLO on a clear session...
