Thanks Viktor, that was the right direction.
I actually didn't configure smtpd_tls_security_level = encrypt in main.cf
but in master.cf, however, not at right place:
127.0.0.1:10025 inet n - - - - smtpd
....
-o smtpd_tls_security_level=encrypt
Setting
smtp inet n - - - - smtpd -o
smtpd_tls_security_level=encrypt
and
127.0.0.1:10025 inet n - - - - smtpd
....
-o smtpd_tls_security_level=may
Seems to work fine now, I checked all legs in the logs and with tcpdumps and
everything looks fine.
As a next step I will also try to force outgoing encryption.
Again, thanks a lot for your support!
Mark

This is completely expected, because setting
smtpd_tls_security_level = encrypt
affects not only the public internet-facing port 25 service, but also
the internal loopback SMTP (port 10025) service that receives messages
that pass through the content (or proxy) filter, but the filter DOES NOT
use TLS, and its attempts to deliver filtered mail are rejected.
Don't set
smtpd_tls_security_level = encrypt
in main.cf. Instead use a master.cf override for just the port 25
service:
smtp inet n - n - - smtpd
-o smtpd_tls_security_level=encrypt
--
Viktor.
