SSL/TLS SMTP notfications not working

On the latest snapshot SMTP notifications are not working. System log shows:
/system_advanced_notifications.php: Could not send the message to name@domain.com -- Error: could not connect to the host "smtp.domain.com": ??

It has bidirectional with gmail on 465 when trying to send a notification, but fails to send anything.

Works for me on 25 with no auth.
SSL verification failing perhaps?

I don't think so, settings were not changed prior the update. I got "Firmware upgrade in progress..." email on 2.2.5, but upon reboot I did not get any email.

I've just verified the settings with another 2.2.5 box using the same settings, no issues there. It's definitely something with 2.3 that's preventing SMTP notifications.

No, not user/pass auth - just SSL certificate verification.
It works for me on mail severs I can access if I use:- No auth via port 25 (from an IP I can relay through)
- Plain auth on port 587 (no encryption)
If it fails for you with either "SMTP over SSL/TLS" or "STARTTLS" checked in the GUI that would suggest a problem in the SSL certificate negotiation or verification. We've enabled a lot more of those things on 2.3, the mail library that's in use might need a nudge toward /etc/ssl/cert.pem or some other similar adjustment, and perhaps a checkbox to disable verification in the GUI.

I'd say any verification should be just disabled by default. Vast majority of mailservers has either self-signed, crappy, non-matching or even expired certificates.

It fails using gmail's smtp server, I tried both SSL and STARTTLS. My guess is that it isn't due to a bad server cert.

It is because of certificate validation failures. PHP 5.6 openssl enabled verification by default, it was disabled for notifications previously. Looks like gmail's cert should validate though, seems it's somehow missing ca_root_nss.

still missing something after setting openssl.cafile in php.ini

It appears to work fine now when the SSL certificate validates. When it doesn't, however, a PHP error occurs:
Starting TLS cryptograpic protocol
Warning: stream_socket_enable_crypto(): Peer certificate CN=`www.example.com' did not match expected CN=`192.0.2.22' in /etc/inc/smtp.inc on line 1269
