This issue you're having seems to me totally unrelated to openssl, just that for the host you're connecting to Path MTU Detection doesn't work properly. That's becauase some people filter too much icmp traffic. If there is something in your network that limits it to 1496, I suggest you set your mtu like that. This will avoid many problems. ping with "-s 30000" should also work if nothing gets filtered. A tool to diagnose those PMTUD problems is tracepath.
