One idea would be to create a submit file with a well-known string for 
the job arguments, and then confirm the string does does not appear in the
clear on the network.

So create test.sub:

  executable = /bin/echo
  arguments = "This is a test"
  queue

And then submit it using strace to display what is written to the network, 
doing something like the following from a bash prompt:

  strace -f -e trace=network -s 1000 condor_submit test.sub |& grep "This is a test"

Without encryption, the grep will succeed.  With encryption required, it should fail.

Hope the above helps
