Comment (by deryni):

 stunnel sets up an encrypted connection to an unencrypted port, which is
 why ejabberd was offering starttls over it (unfortunately starttls over an
 already encrypted connection makes no sense) which is why pidgin was
 failing and psi/pandion were working. A direct proxy from 443 to 5223
 would work with old SSL because the proxy would just forward packets,
 stunnel negotiates its own SSL connection. Though why pidgin is responding
 to starttls over an SSL link I am not at all sure, it probably shouldn't
 (assuming that is in fact not valid).

 In summary: plain or starttls directly to 5222, ssl to 5223, proxy across
 to either, stunnel to 5222 (without starttls).
