It's relevant to the second connection you logged being refused (note
the port number difference).
We can't tell from that info why the first connection had a problem
except tat it was TLS-related. Consider cipher-list mismatches,
or certificate-verification issues. Run in debug mode and see
if you can get more detailed info (problem is, it's the peer
cancelling the TLS connection; it may be we don't have any
reason at our end). Try using cmdline tools to investigate.

No certainty of a better outcome; only a different one :-/
