Every IMAP command needs a command tag. Instead of "STARTTLS" try "A STARTTLS".
Interesting. So the outside service's software has a hack in there to accept it without the tag? I wonder why? Maybe it's a workaround because some client software does it that way.
Anyway, with the tag it does work on IMAP. But it still fails on POP (which doesn't have tags, though I tried one anyway for kicks).
