I'm not 100% sure.  It depends on the client.  For examaple, Paul and
netlabs use LE certs and when I access these sites with a browser, I'm
never prompted to accept and updated cert.  However, when I access via
git, I get prompted.  Both clients are making https connections.  To be
sure how your client's mail clients will react, you need to test.

It keeps the naive ones away.  The smart ones know how to port scan and
discover the ports that are running servers.
