I found this on another forum, it worked for me as well:
Change smtp port to 465, enable SSL. Then when you reconnect, accept the Cert., and re-authenticate (you may have to temporarily disable password-saves until you are re-prompted).
I did this successfully on both Thunderbird and Outlook clients.
I am sure the helpdesk tech had no idea, but it boils down to lying when they claim they made no changes or have no server issues & then blame your software (technically it is a software config issue - but it's not our fault if they don't tell us what they are doing to change it!).
