587 is the standard MSA port - gmail are dead on correct practice here.
If only other people could work out the difference.

587 is for mail submission over SMTP.  You should not talk SSL to it,
instead you connect, say EHLO, and then do STARTTLS to start an
encrypted session.  This is generally was evolution does if you set the
SSL/Encrypted whatever to "Whenever possible".
