Hi,

Yahoo does not support TLS/SSL with secure renegotiation for SMTP servers.

  ...
  New, TLSv1/SSLv3, Cipher is AES256-SHA
  Server public key is 2048 bit
  Secure Renegotiation IS NOT supported


Because of security reasons TorBirdy requires secure renegotiation for
TLS connections. Insecure renegotiation is a well known bug in the SSL
protocol since 2009.

I have only one recommendation: use an other mail provider.
