>From your slightly obscured configuration, I'm assuming that you're
trying to deliver the mail directly from bacula to your remote mail
server, not localhost, which is why you have the bsmtp/TLS issue. I
believe that if you use the default Bacula bsmtp setup to deliver to
localhost and then alias the recipient off (with an entry in
/etc/aliases) you should be ok. That approach will invoke the
(postfix) MTA -- which will handle TLS just fine. [and avoids the
issue of trying to configure a different mailer.] E.g.,

  mailcommand = "/usr/sbin/bsmtp -h localhost -f ...

  mail = <user>@localhost = all, !skipped
  operator = <user>@localhost = mount

which is the default Bacula configuration and what I use on my
centos box.
