Yes, that's roughly correct.  All the server-side STARTTLS code is
implemented.  However, the proxys do not have code to make use of STARTTLS
when they connect to the backend, so STARTTLS isn't an option for
proxy->backend authentication (not client->proxy or client->backend
authentication, that works fine) in 2.1.
