So, sun appears to be hard-coded even if in james-config, I set
<sockets>
<server-sockets>
<factory name="plain" class="org.apache.avalon.cornerstone.blocks.sockets.DefaultServerSocketFactory"/>
<factory name="ssl"
class="org.apache.avalon.cornerstone.blocks.sockets.TLSServerSocketFactory">
<keystore>
<file>conf/keystore</file>
<password>asdfasfd</password>
<type>JKS</type>
<protocol>SSL</protocol>
<algorithm>IbmX509</algorithm>
...

Also, tried to figure out whether in the future versions of cornerstone, this is already fixed, but only found
http://archive.apache.org/dist/avalon/cornerstone-sockets-impl/source/, but it wasn't clear, in which avalon successor, it will have its new home (http://avalon.apache.org/closed.html)
