After changing the client certificate request to 'no' we get a little
further in the negotiation but it still fails:

The internal mail server for this organisation is MX Exchange. 
However, the MTA relay is a Barracuda firewall appliance:

PORT   STATE SERVICE VERSION
25/tcp open  smtp    Barracuda Networks Spam Firewall smtpd
Service Info: CPE: cpe:/h:barracudanetworks:spam_%26_virus_firewall_600:-

They are reporting a timeout error when trying to transmit to our
Postfix-3.3.1 MX.  All we see is the above in our maillog.

Their DSN says:

. . . conversation with mx32.harte-lyne.ca[216.185.71.32]:25 timed out
while sending MAIL FROM . . .

We have only seen this type of problem (client disconnect with 0 data
transferred) with a very few of our correspondents. As it coincides
with moving from Postfix-2.11 to 3.3 we are concerned that we have
introduced some sort of compatibility issue.
