Additional Info
Bluehost has steps on their site that may instruct you to enter 'mail.yourcustomdomain.com' as the "outgoing server" along with port 465.
After communicating directly with Bluehost Support we found that they have a few "alternate" server names that can be used. Using the common name for Bluehost's email server, box5351.bluehost.com, is better for SSL/TLS certificates as it's configured for everyone with Bluehost.
SOUS uses the latest versions of TLS (Transport Layer Security), an encryption protocol that protects internet communications. While Port 465 support SSL (Secure Sockets Layer), Port 587 supports TLS, which is the latest in end-to-end security for internet communications.
