In addition to port 443, you might consider ports like 995 - used for
secure POP3 - and 587, used for secure SMTP on Gmail.
There are other ports used primarily with end-to-end encrypted
protocols, you may want to look. =:o)
And as far as an exit node used with "secure ports" only: My experience
browsing through Tor on both unencrypted and encrypted Web sites, has
been that the encrypted ones often have more or less lag than the
unencrypted.
In short: Encrypted traffic may use a different exit than unencrypted.
So yes, an encrypted-only exit could be useful. =:o)
