           Summary: SMTP transport looses received EHLO attributes when
                    STARTTLS fails
           Product: Exim
           Version: 4.73
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: ASSIGNED
          Severity: bug
          Priority: medium
         Component: Transports
        AssignedTo: tom@???
        ReportedBy: exim-bugs@???
                CC: exim-dev@???, exim-bugs@???

When the remote SMTP server offered STARTTLS in its EHLO attributes but
responds with a temporary error (such as "454 TLS currently unavailable"), the
SMTP transport looses all EHLO attributes. In case this causes an immediate
termination of the connection (i.e. when jumping with goto RESPONSE_FAILED),
this does not hurt. But in case this temporary failure should be ignored (i.e.
tls_tempfail_tryclear is set), this means that authentication will not be tried
because the "server did not advertise AUTH support" (this is what is being
logged), even if it actually *did* advertise AUTH support.
