That name is the Debian binary for Exim. Nobody else calls it that.
Version 3 of Exim went obsolete TWENTY YEARS ago.

Gmail cannot be bothered to properly close down a TLS session; they just drop the TCP
connection. The GnuTLS library reports this.

I assume you are not concerned by this.

That one I have not seen ("User canceled").
You could get a packet capture and decode the actual TLS record this external
relay sent, possibly. Or you could enquire of the operators of that relay what they are doing.
