You can't do this. hosts_avoid_tls is an option for the smtp
transport. it isn't an option for a router. I use it in an
smtp transport like this:


# Almost bog-standard smtp transport to off-load internet email to
# wherever it's supposed to go.
internet_smtp:
driver = smtp
#
# Grrr, the hosts in the hostlist used here say they support TLS
# but then can't hack it.
hosts_avoid_tls = +no_tls_advertise_hosts


where no_tls_advertise_hosts is set in the main configuration:


# There are clods-for-clients out there who say they support TLS but
# then can't hack it. Our logs tell us this. We'll not offer them
# STARTTLS and an appropriate transport won't take them up on any
# offer to use TLS.
hostlist no_tls_advertise_hosts = net-SEARCH;NO_TLS_HOSTS
