The arg to host_avoid_tls is a list of hosts, not "yes" or "no". If you
want to turn off tls for everything just do:

hosts_avoid_tls = *

As for your actual problem. You're probably running out of entropy. A
quick google turned up this on the subject:

I'm sure you can handle it from there. Turning off TLS will fix your
problem also.
