You don't offer any details of the other parts of the mail handling
setup, but my first suspect would be content filtering of some kind
kicks in noticeably only when there's attachments to be dechiphered.

My other suspect is that 

>     match in all scrub (no-df)

somehow tickles the receiving end the wrong way.  Others have reported
to me privately that going from 4.4 and 

scrub in all

to 4.6 and

match in all scrub (reassemble tcp)

worked OK on most traffic, but slowed down some https traffic
horribly.  Then some apparently random experimentation lead to trying
different max-mss values and with

match in all scrub (no-df max-mss 1440)

the problem went away.  tcpdump output of successful and failing
connetions would be instructive, along with the actual error messages,
if any.
