The does indeed use port 465 (and I set smtpmail-smtp-service to 465).
Are you saying that smtpmail.el does not support ssmtp?

No:
$ telnet mail.myprovider.com
Trying 123.456.78.9...
telnet: connect to address 123.456.78.9: Connection timed out
I know nothing about ssmtp. Assuming the server does use it, is there a
way to access it from Gnus?
