Subject: [exim] Sending mail fails (using TLS via company server) since upgrade to 4.85
I use exim on my work laptop and send mail (user agent is mutt) via my
company's mail server.

On upgrading to 4.85 (openSUSE tumbleweed package) I see:

2015-07-13 14:59:35 exim 4.85 daemon started: pid=24742, -q30m, listening for SMTP on port 25 (IPv6 and IPv4)
2015-07-13 14:59:35 Start queue run: pid=24744
2015-07-13 14:59:35 1ZEdZH-0003c0-Bx Message is frozen
2015-07-13 14:59:35 End queue run: pid=24744

2015-07-13 14:59:56 1ZEeGx-0006Rx-S0 Frozen

If I revert to 4.83 (openSUSE 13.2 package), everything works as
expected.

The parts of exim.conf that I guess may be relevant here are

remote_smtp:
driver = smtp
helo_data = gryphon.disruptive.org.uk
hosts_require_auth = gwmail.emea.novell.com
hosts_require_tls = gwmail.emea.novell.com

login:
driver = plaintext
public_name = LOGIN
client_send = ":rwhittaker:Mysecretpassword"

I have tried downgrading openssl and gnutls to older versions (both
got upgraded at the same time as the problematic exim upgrade) but
this makes no difference.

Can anyone help me understand what is happening here? Do I maybe need
to add something to my configuration because of some change in 4.85?
