You're using the standard self-signed certificate. If you want a certificate validated by someone else, you have to pay for it.
Your certs (on Debian) are in /etc/ssl. That's where you'd install one that was signed by an authority that Outlook trusts.
The other thing that you can do is install the self-signed certificate into outlook as "trusted". Works only for the particular installation of outlook that you do it on; each attaching client has to do it.

You are using a self signed certificate I assume? You have to do:
Start Menu->Run->iexplore http://whatever.your.dovecotserver.is:993
and install the certificate in your wallet. Now why Outlook couldn't give you an option to do that itself, I don't know...
