I fully agree.
I'm thinking of something about that way (not sure, if I
got the ${acl{}} feature right…

    begin acl


        acl_check_dane:
            accept verify = dane
            deny



    begin transports


        remote_smtps:
            driver = smtp
            hosts_require_tls = *
            tls_continue = ${acl{acl_check_dane}}


This give the user the power to implement whatever he wants
as the condition.
