Oops, my bad on this one.  The advanced tab only shows up for the  
remote mailbox servers (incoming) not the outgoing.  However, if you   
look in ~/.balsa/config, the entry for the smtp server does include a  
line (at least in my case) SSL=false.  I would try changing that to  
true and see if it works.  I have no idea why the GUI doesn't have a  
place to change that value.
