How do I start TLS socket
Im trying to connect to a mail server and send mail through my own program.
After I connect to the server on port 587 I get to this point where I receive the following response:
220 2.0.0 Ready to start TLS.
Im not sure how to proceed from here. I cant just continue sending commands

Are you trying to roll your own code, or are you using a library like libcurl to do the grunt work for you?
https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/
https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/
Im not using anything atm. What do you suggest? And is it possible to do what's necessary with c++ standard lib/includes?

I suggested libcurl.
But if you want an OO'ified wrapper, then perhaps http://www.curlpp.org/
Or if you're willing to spend a lot of time learning some "big iron", perhaps https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_71_0/doc/html/boost_asio.html
But I'm not sure that has the depth of protocol support that libcurl has.

Strictly speaking, no.
Standard C++ knows nothing about networks - see http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/
