Your example look odd,

Typically you would either:

* connect directly using tls (usually using the standard "secure" 
service port)
* or connect to the normal service port, do a basic handshake with the 
server, tell that you're going to switch the connection with STARTTLS, 
and use tls.

but you will not use both methods in the same connection.

Hope that helps,
