My users never had problems with that since Miranda offers a link to
an .exe file you just have do double-click.

I think the other way around would be more useful. First, force those
who have the knowledge to fix it in a few minutes (it's just generating
a cert and one option - in every Jabber server). If that succeeded, we
can force those who maybe have less knowledge and need some time to
figure it out.
Anyway, forcing it for s2s would be faster achievable than having all
clients use STARTTLS by default.
This, I'd recommend trying to force TLS for s2s first.
