You should at least change the ssh port immediately now that you have published the address.

No, this is bad advice.

First because Tor relays (and their addresses) are public anyway.

And second because having an ssh port exposed to the Internet will draw enough scans that it had better be secure, regardless of whether running a Tor relay nearby to it draws any more attention to it.

(Please don't spread fud about the risks of running relays. Especially as there *are* risks, like any other Internet service.)
