I just ran into something similar with the latest version of TB.
I updated our SSL cert for Dovecot but TB could not access my email over port 993. I clicked on file then get new messages for all accounts. TB popped up a warning that the cert had an invalid/incorrect hostname and if I should allow the exception. I allowed the exception which worked and TB is fine now. I only did this because my ssl cert is a wildcard for the domain but does not explicitly list the hostname.

Sound to me, as if Thunderbird does not know the CA used to (self) sign
that server certificate.

Following the documentation at

https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/simple-guide-using-lets-encrypt-ssl-certs-with-dovecot/2921

I configured

ssl_cert = </etc/letsencrypt/live/...../fullchain.pem
ssl_key = </etc/letsencrypt/live/...../privkey.pem

to my Let's Encrypt SSL certificates and did a restart of Dovecont and at least for one installation of Thunderbird it seems to work again now. For the other installations I need to check later at home, but the problem seems to be resolved.
