If you don't want to use 995, then just don't use this port in Outlook. Or, block it in iptables firewall.

Disabling a service could be done in many ways:

*) disable it in the software
*) block the traffic in firewall
*) ...

Dovecot has setting 'protocols =' to define the network services (imap, pop3, sieve, lmtp), then enable secure connection for them with 'ssl = yes' (offer secure connection, but insecure ones are allowed) or 'ssl = required' (no insecure connection at all). It doesn't have simple syntax in config file to disable a single service, e.g. pop3s (995). Reference:
