Using port 465 for mail is a non-standard use of a port registered for
other use. Please do not perpetuate its abuse unless there is absolutely
no other option for your users, i.e. unless they are using obsolete
versions of Microsoft mail clients. Mail submission should be done on
port 587 using the standard SMTP-based submission protocol using
STARTTLS and AUTH.

Can you turn that into meaningful English?

That too...

Just set it up the right way. Not how you're doing it now.

Here's the last free clue I'll be providing you: You need to learn how
to ask questions usefully. That means explaining what you're trying to
do in careful detail and not just babbling and ranting about how someone
else is bad and wrong. It also requires you to reveal things like what
exactly you are doing and where exactly you are running into problems.
In other words: you MUST be willing to reveal your configuration and
logs. If you can't bring yourself to do that, you may simply need to
hire competent private help instead of continuing to seek free
assistance here in your chronically annoying manner.

You've been told that here before. I wish you luck in absorbing that
clue and finding help from someone who has not been frustrated by your
stubborn unwillingness to help yourself.
