You are going to have a lot of trouble using SMTP over SSL. It is, really,
not worth the effort, even tho it is possible.

Your best luck is using just TLS, which can be negotiated over a
regular SMTP connection.

I really can't give you pointers, since I never implemented it
using Postfix, only Exim.

If you really want to implemente SMTP over SSL, I suggest you
take a look at stunnel (avaliable on CentOS).
