I'm saying OpenSSL here, as it's a an SSL library call that does this part. For PolarSSL builds the same applies, IIRC.
One thing you could try is to run the underlying openssl command on both client and server: server: openssl s_server -msg -CAfile ca.crt -cert server.crt -key server.key client: openssl s_client -connect <server-IP>:4433 (adjust ca.crt and server.{crt,key} to your setup). The server should print the list of shared ciphers.
