Definitely yes. Unencrypted should be the exception nowadays.

IRC should be upgraded if possible. Freenode at least supports both
modes.
SMTP is tricky. I would care if sending to an external server but not
internally, and there's no easy way to distinguish them. Also if the
message itself is encrypted, I wouldn't care.

HTTP? It's certainly recommended to encrypt it nowadays.
