The specific info on this can be found on 
http://www.postfix.org/TLS_README.html#client_tls_policy  which says, 
specifically:

You should probably set

smtp_tls_connection_reuse=yes

I also have 

smtp_tls_exclude_ciphers = MD5, aDSS, kECDH, kDH, SEED, IDEA, RC2, RC5
smtp_tls_loglevel = 1

And I don't think either of those is the default (at least not according to 
postconf -d) but the first may be legacy that is obviated by 
smtp_tls_mandatory_protocols defaults?
