smtp port 465 login information compromised

I'm using gmail(and other service providers) to send out emails from port 465 which is working fine.

But my login username and passwords were compromised and hackers could gain access and sent out malicious emails.

My question is even if I secure the infrastructure, is it possible that a sniffer at some router is able to get all the login information going out at port 465.

If I use port 587 with STARTTLS would it prevent eavesdropping?

If I use oauth to login would that help?

Regards
