The above error message suggests that the TCP connection succeeded, but the
TLS handshake was interrupted before it completed.

You can demonstrate this quite easily locally by adding:

listen on ::1 smtps pki <any_valid_pki>

and then doing

$ telnet ::1 465
Trying ::1...
Connected to ::1.
Escape character is '^]'.
^]
telnet> quit
Connection closed.

The log will show the same error, handshake failed: unexpected EOF.

What happens if you connect to port 465 of node A from node B using netcat
with the -v and -c options?
