Unfortunately the only way we have for getting hold of a single
SSL_CIPHER object is to use the SSL_CIPHER_find() function. You can also
get the list of ciphers configured for a particular SSL object or
SSL_CTX....but you that's an even worse way of getting hold of a single
SSL_CIPHER. It would be nice to have a function to get hold of an
SSL_CIPHER based on its name and a function to get hold of one based on
its id as defined in the tls1.h, e.g. TLS1_3_CK_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 - but
at the moment such a function doesn't exist.

Since you're using PSKs I'm guessing you haven't set up a certificate.
If no suitable PSK has been found then OpenSSL will press ahead and
attempt to do an "initial" handshake with a certificate. It gets so far
and attempts to find a signature algorithm to use that is in the list of
signature algorithms presented by the client, as well as in the list of
signature algorithms configured for the server, and *also* is suitable
for use with one of the certificates configured for use by the server.
If there are no certificates configured then there is no signature
algorithm that can match these criteria, and you will get this error
message.
