Consider using Dovecot on your mail server for port 443. I was not aware that Discord stopped supporting websockets over 443. I run my own Mumble voice chat server so I can put it on 443, but I understand people have a lot of friends on Discord. I am just not happy with their chat logging policy [0].
You could also run a proxy or VPN on port 443. You can also use sslh [1] to have SSH+SSL+Proxy+VPN all on the same port 443. You can do similar things using HAProxy + SNI + SSL, but that is a bigger subject.
For other things that must use other ports or protocols, you can sometimes wrap them using tsocks [2] in your VPN or SSH tunnels to port 443.
Thanks for the tip on using git on port 443. I didn't know it was possible to do that with SSH keys. I have 2FA on my account, so I can't use just HTTPS.
Also, yeah I setup a VPN on port 80, so I can effectively bypass this. I just didn't want to post that on Twitter. I'd probably get suspended for hacking or something.

Out of curiosity, how does using https affect 2FA?
