Via other means I found a different IP address that smtp.gmail.com can
resolve to than the ones it does here. When I use that IP address, I can
access the SSL and TLS ports.

Meanwhile, the IP addresses my name servers give me do respond on the old
cleartext port, but they give a header line for mx.google.com rather than
smtp.gmail.com . Meanwhile, mx.google.com does not resolve for me.

Below:

~ $ host smtp.google.com
smtp.google.com has address 142.251.165.26
smtp.google.com has address 142.251.165.27
smtp.google.com has address 142.250.112.26
smtp.google.com has address 142.250.112.27
smtp.google.com has address 142.251.4.26

After writing the above I realized I was sometimes typing smtp.gmail.com
and sometimes smtp.google.com . The former is presently working for me. The
assertion something was wrong appears bogus right now.
