Auto-encrypt meant to fallback to the default port when it wasn't provided, but it hadn't been because of an issue with the error handling. We were checking against an incomplete error value:
"missing port in address" vs "address $HOST: missing port in address"
Additionally, all RPCs to AutoEncrypt.Sign were using a.config.ServerPort, so those were updated to use ports resolved by resolveAddrs, if they are available.
