Expected behaviour. Bear in mind that 465 is the old deprecated
SMTPS (SMTP over SSL) port which just runs SMTP over an SSL session.
Postfix cannot send a greeting on that port without completing the
SSL handshake first, but Telnet doesn't speak SSL. So Postfix is
just waiting in vain for the SSL handshake.

Correct.

Not quite. It's replaced with STARTTLS which works over port 25
(SMTP) as well as 587 (MSP).
