You're fine.

If you want to be better than fine, you can implement Noel's suggestion:
it forces STARTTLS and auth only when the client is not localhost. Since
SquirrelMail is localhost, it can send without STARTTLS/auth.

The result is that all of your outgoing mail can arrive on 587, which is
nice when you have a lot of different restrictions for incoming/outgoing
mail.
