I have several OpenBSD email servers, some elderly (Sendmail) and some
brand-spanking new (smtpd). Recently I've noticed that some (of both
kinds) are failing to deliver mail to some major UK ISPs. (Mostly
domestic; business ISPs not so much.)

For Sendmail, the error is "TLS handshake failed"; for smtpd, it's
"Network error on destination MXs".

"TLS handshake failed" usually means a TLS cipher mismatch, but maybe they're requiring a valid public certificate. You can also use testssl.sh to see what ciphers they're actually using.

Check the logs and do a tcpdump of one of the failed connections. One of those should tell you directly what's wrong.
