[Exim] Help decoding TLS error log

I don't get it, this host seems to have working TLS, but exim still complains
with:
Malformed SMTP response from mail.epost.de [64.39.38.43] after STARTTLS: \025\003\001

Yet, it complains after having said that the mail has been delivered correctly.

Can someone explain what's happening to me?

Thanks
Marc
