Yeah, if it's working, you should be able to telnet into it.
If you're SSH'd into your server, can you telnet into it from there? That should tell you if it's running.
You could also use netstat -- netstat -an | grep :465
You're on the right track though, using SMTPS and/or Submission is a good way to get around ISP port 25 restrictions.

Great referal ! works !
But now I cant seem to authenticate when sending mail. The password works for receiving but not sending (noooooo... I want to sleep)
EDIT
maillog says:
warning: SASL authentication failure: cannot connect to saslauthd server: No such file or directory

Looks like saslauthd isn't running.
Try restarting it.

[root@ns1 sysconfig]# service saslauthd restart
Stopping saslauthd: [ OK ]
Starting saslauthd: [ OK ]
Still get the same error :
postfix/smtpd[5471]: warning: SASL authentication failure: cannot connect to saslauthd server: No such file or directory
What file or directory is it looking for?
What do you get if you type this on the command line:
ps auxw | grep saslauth
root 5093 0.0 0.0 5484 484 ? Ss 13:21 0:00 /usr/sbin/saslauthd -m /var/run/saslauthd -a pam
root 5094 0.0 0.0 5484 264 ? S 13:21 0:00 /usr/sbin/saslauthd -m /var/run/saslauthd -a pam
root 5095 0.0 0.0 5484 260 ? S 13:21 0:00 /usr/sbin/saslauthd -m /var/run/saslauthd -a pam
root 5096 0.0 0.0 5484 260 ? S 13:21 0:00 /usr/sbin/saslauthd -m /var/run/saslauthd -a pam
root 5098 0.0 0.0 5484 260 ? S 13:21 0:00 /usr/sbin/saslauthd -m /var/run/saslauthd -a pam
root 6419 0.0 0.0 3908 664 pts/0 R+ 13:44 0:00 grep saslauth
maybe its missing the pam file? I really have to idea because it should be just pain text authentication? right?
I might need professional help sorting this out (for the server and mentally)
I have an office not getting orders because of this email issue. Just switched the domain to point to me yesterday.
Try restarting postfix, as well.
What OS/version are you running? (saslauthd is way more OS dependent in its paths and configuration than anything else in a Virtualmin system, and so I can't even tell you where to look without know the OS/version. Also, some of the configuration is built into Postfix at compile time, so it looks completely magic if you're expecting to find paths in a configuration file.)

Joe,
Not sure what the support is for pro users on this issue, but I can pay you to fix it if necessary (cant pay a lot though)? I am really beat. I sent you an email.
Thanks,
Max

No need to pay. This is well within the bounds of included support.
Install the Virtualmin Support module, file a ticket, and grant us access to your system. Eric or I will be able to drop in and take a look (and no passwords ever need traverse teh interwebs).
Docs for the support module are here:

OK, just force it to only use our repository, since your OS repository is broken (you'll want to fix that, though--you can't safely run a server without regular updates, and right now you can't get updates).
yum --disablerepo=update --disablerepo=base --disablerepo=extras install wbm-virtualmin-support

Or, you can just email me the authentication details and I'll try to dig it out of my hundreds of new messages. ;-)

To contribute, and to all of those who are in suspense:
In the postfix /etc/postfix/master.cf
The line where I added the new port 2525
2525 inet n - - - - smtpd
I forgot to append to the saslauthd info to end of it. Sorry dont have it in front of me but see the standard smtp port in that file.
