I think you need to generate a certificate, which creates some necessary files below /etc/postfix/ssl. The certificate works for both client and server by default. Try out the etc/sysconfig Editor, fill out the relevant ssl entries, and that will generate the necessary files and certificate. HTH.
A certificate for client side? Other programs running in client mode do not use it (thunderbird, fetchmail, etc). However, those definitions you talk about in sysconfig have been there for ages, defined, but are ignored: as soon as I edited main.cf on my own (years ago), sysconfig doesn't act for postfix.
Some time ago dis some experimentation with certificate based security and IMAP and various mail clients. The norm was for the server to supply the client with the relevant certificate.
