No problem at all, ..

$ telnet <servername> 25
Trying 206.197.251.199...
Connected to <servername>.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 <servername> ESMTP Sendmail 8.12.8/8.12.8; Mon, 29 Jul 2013

I can guarantee it doesn't know anything about TLS or SSL - it only
accepts SMTP traffic from internal users and was actually built before TLS
was mainstream.

Why would Evolution try to start a TLS session without it selected or
available?
