SMTP:

CONNECTED(00000003)
220 mail.server.de ESMTP Exim 4.92.3 Thu, 17 Oct 2019 10:18:20 +0200
EHLO mail.example.com
250-mail.server.de Hello muedsl-82-207-210-124.citykom.de [82.207.210.124]
...
STARTTLS
220 TLS go ahead

There is no way to figure out what to write in the 220 greeting, except
you have multiply ips on your server and each ip stands for a different
server.
Thats how it worked before SNI was introduced back in 1999 and why SNI
is such an improvement for SSL/TLS.

Nothing else was written above.

A "client" may not have the need to do it, thats true.

Thanks, didn't know that i already play in the big league :)  I'm sorry
to disappoint you, but if autodiscover isn't working proper, you will be
in a lot of trouble, if you provide mailservices to more than a handful
of your friends. And just for Outlook alone, you have to offer 3
different versions, thanks to (insert higher authority of choice here),
most of the clients use mozillas AD protocol.

Autodiscover (via http) really helps to make it easier for the masses
and anyone, who is offering mail services, should implement the basic
methods for it.
