FWIW, I've also seen two of these, at 23:53:41UTC yesterday and
11:08:41UTC today. The server in question is running Debian's 4.92-
8+deb10u6 exim4-daemon-heavy package and has "tls_sni" set in the log
selector.

The log entries for the second failed connection are:

2021-10-16 11:08:40 SMTP connection from [213.128.132.49] (TCP/IP connection count = 1)
2021-10-16 11:08:41 TLS error on connection from hh.schlittermann.de [213.128.132.49] (gnutls_handshake): A disallowed SNI server name has been received.
2021-10-16 11:08:41 SMTP connection from hh.schlittermann.de [213.128.132.49] closed by EOF
2021-10-16 11:08:41 no MAIL in SMTP connection from hh.schlittermann.de [213.128.132.49] D=0s C=EHLO,STARTTLS

The same server has received 21 successful connections from
hh.schlittermann.de in the past couple of days.
