I'm taking it as read that users would use message encryption - which already exists. Would creating a new protocol force daemons to check certificates came from CA? stop third parties controlling servers? or using unpatched OpenSSL though? anymore than a properly setup SMTP server though?

No, it protects metadata. It's more than just message encryption.

  TLS protects the metadata, as long as you know both ends have trustworthy SMTP servers.
