My first instinct was RTFM, but this is not in TFM, perhaps it should
be an additional example in the postconf.5.html#relayhost page?

TFM says in part:

In the case of SMTP, specify a domain name, hostname, hostname:port, [hostname]:port, [hostaddress] or [hostaddress]:port.

So it appears the use of an alternate port is specifically documented.
But it seems that enough people overlook the text that adding another example would help.
