I'm sure having an option to just not use encryption would be very simple to implement. (But what do I know).

If you have control of the server, and if it is running linux, then you can do what you want with stunnel. Set it up to accept SSL connections and forward them as unencrypted connections. For example,
stunnel -d submission -r yourmailserver.atcompany.com:smtp
will accept SSL connections and forward them on to the mail server.
Of course, anyone with a network sniffer can see your password.
You can get stunnel to run under windows with a little hacking. Check out the stunnel.org compiled binaries. You will probably want to make it into a service, which is the hacking part.
It continues to astound me that companies/ISPs still set up unencrypted authenticating mail servers, but they do. I am even more astounded that companies still set up non-authenticating internal mail servers, but they do. The spambots thank them for their cooperation.
