Here it is.

    #if failed host localhost port 25 type tcp protocol smtp retry 2  
times then restart
    if failed host localhost port 25 type tcp protocol smtp for 2  
cycles then restart

Full config:
https://github.com/szepeviktor/debian-server-tools/blob/master/monitoring/monit/services/courier-mta#L5-L7

Once I was even starting a shell script when Monit told me that  
Courier is not responding on 127.0.0.1:25
That included tcpdump, netstat etc. Revealed *nothing*

I appreciate your help and advise.
