Description

I had to set SMP/XFTP different ports from those by default because other services already took them.
I also set TOR and have an address for SMP and XFTP.
So I have the SMP/XFTP addresses like smp/xftp://<fingerprint>@<public_hostname:port>.
When I go into the settings of the SimpleX Chat app to create a new SM/XFTP server, I add the address smp/xftp://<fingerprint>@<public_hostname:port>[,<onion_hostname>] but unfortunately the field "Test server" is not active.
I had to delete the TOR address to become active in the feature "Test server", and only in this way, it works.
I suggest reviewing this configuration because it limits who cannot use the default ports.

Research direction

No source files, tests, or entry points are identified in the issue. Start by reproducing the server setup in the SimpleX Chat app's server settings with custom SMP/XFTP ports and an onion hostname, then trace why “Test server” is inactive; done means the address can be tested without removing the onion address.
