Do you happen to be using Conscrypt JSSE provider? We allow TLS 1.3 for IBM
and ALPN JSSE providers but not for Conscrypt
<https://github.com/grpc/grpc-java/blob/1c430989902856e609ddbff203be1dc4c412ff43/netty/src/main/java/io/grpc/netty/GrpcSslContexts.java#L211>,
for which we hard code it to TLS1.2. There is an open issue
<https://github.com/grpc/grpc-java/issues/7765> for this.
