Proposal for new XMPP account settings: worse or better?

I think it's an improvement.  It captures the three relevant
possibilities neatly.  There *is* also the option of "don't use TLS
even if available", but I doubt many people would intentionally use
that for the right reasons.  I would say TLS rather than STARTTLS.
