If that's the same IP address that the person-to-person mail is coming
from, I suspect it's a NAT setup and the automated mails actually come
from a totaly different internal system which has borked TLS.
If the remote side is remotely cooperative[1], you can try suggesting
to smarthost the automated sende via the system that usually sends
person-to-person e-mail.
