Sadly, the error in question is reported from deep inside the TLS
library, and Exim would have to work hard to figure out it is reporting
a "peer" alert, and not some other TLS handshake problem.

So this is just one of those cases where the error only reveals its full
meaning to those who have some insight into the inner workings of TLS. :-(
