Presumably it'll work for you if you connect to:

    [dnssec-stats.ant.isi.edu]:25


The relevant software versions are:

    $ rpm -q postfix openssl
    postfix-3.6.4-1.fc36.x86_64
    openssl-3.0.5-1.fc36.x86_64


And indeed Postfix is linked against OpenSSL 3.x:

    $ ldd /usr/libexec/postfix/smtpd
        ...
        libssl.so.3 => /lib64/libssl.so.3 (0x00007fdc3588f000)
        libcrypto.so.3 => /lib64/libcrypto.so.3 (0x00007fdc35467000)
        ...


So the barrier is some interaction between Exim and OpenSSL that makes
TLS 1.0 and 1.1 unavailable. Clients that don't support TLS 1.2 are of
course increasingly rare, but pockets of holdouts still linger on...
