Thanks for helpful hints but I couldn't spot anything useful in MCE log or in 
error console...

Yes, this is correct.

I noticed the problem following upgrade to "testing" on amd64. When it became 
obvious that Icedove can't be used any more I downgraded it to the latest 
available version which happened to be the exact version I was using before 
upgrade...

I'm not 100% sure but from the brief look it appears to be a different 
problem...

I'm not sure where to find this information... Whatever cipher settings are 
they would be default for Wheezy. As far as I'm aware there were no cipher 
customisations on server side.

Thanks but I know little about TLS and I don't understand how it can be 
helpful in my case...

cacert.org.

Certificate:
    Data:
        Version: 3 (0x2)
        Signature Algorithm: sha512WithRSAEncryption
        Subject Public Key Info:
            Public Key Algorithm: rsaEncryption

Where are those settings? Anyway I've never touched them...

I disagree. Otherwise how would you explain why downgrade of icedove fixed the 
problem?
If icedove from Jessie can't talk to SMTP server on Wheezy it is a serious 
regression on the client side i.e. in the Icedove.
