on my testsystem it looks like:
libgnutls-dane0/stable,now 3.7.9-2+deb12u3 amd64 [Installiert,automatisch]
my production system looks like:
libgnutls-dane0/focal-updates,focal-security,now 3.6.13-2ubuntu1.11 amd64 [Installiert,automatisch]

not seeing anything about dane.

But does *glibc* strip the AD bit when processing the response? Do you
have "options trust-ad" in /etc/resolv.conf?

And DANE is pretty pointless if you're trusting the AD from a server far
away. To get meaningful security, you need a server you control that
you can reach via the loopback interface or a "very private" LAN.

Do you have evidence that Exim is actually configured to use DANE, do
you have <https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=libgnutls-dane0>
installed? Does anything in the logs indicate that DANE is attempted?

But you also reported that the OpenSSL version did not send SNI, which
is not consistent with that claim.
