For what it is worth, anon DH, and anon ECDH ciphers are used by default
in Postfix when doing unauthenticated opportunistic TLS.  Since the server
certificate is ignored, we don't bother to solicit one, or offer one if the
client does not care.

See also:

  https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7672#section-8.2

where I explained that I see security advantages to making transparent the
client's non-use of a server certificate.

That said, I've given up fighting potentially counter-productive "raising the 
floor"
rather than "the celing" on all fronts, and now try to focus on just the most 
important
cases.  Thus have accepted the fact that sadly no anon (EC)DH ciphers are 
available with
TLS 1.3.
