We use the standard AX_CHECK_OPENSSL() m4 macro from autoconf-archive

I would not suggest that, but if the test at the end of the configure
had said it can compile against openssl, but that a wrong or
insufficient information would prevent building _ssl then a lot of
cycles could be saved.
I suppose that might be impossible as the test might need to actually
try and build _ssl.so.
That's an excellent idea!
I can add an autoconf test that checks the most important and newish
API. The check won't catch all problems, but it will detect most common
cases of missing APIs in headers and libraries.
