It wouldn't be an OpenSSL change. Exim (since 4.95) on both Linux
and FreeBSD platforms[*] sets a watch on the relevant directories and files,
and (supposedly) reloads certs when they change. Best guess is that
this mechanism failed for some reasons.

either "inotify" or "kevent", TLS credentials are not cached
but re-read from file on every connection.
