I now found out what is wrong. It seems courier now needs dh params
either in the pem file or separately via TLS_DHPARAMS. We didn't have
them in our config yet.

However, while looking at this I found something worrying:
It seems the mkdhparams script defaults to 768 bit and the mkesmtpd
script defaults to 512 bit DH params. That's completely and utterly
insecure.
It's insecure in a way that this is practically breakable on a normal
home PC these days.

I'd strongly advise to raise these defaults to 2048, which is a
reasonable value these days.
