That's certainly one reason TMDA would exit.  If it was unable to send
the confirmation response, it would defer the mail.  TMDA connects to
the SMTP server from localhost, so (if you're using qmail and
tcpserver), you should make sure that 127.0.0.1 is allwed to relay.
See the -x flag of tcpserver.

Another issue might be permissions on your files.  Can you post the
permissions of ~/.tmda/crypt_key and ~/.tmda/logs/debug (if there is
such a file)?

Hmm.  Well, if something is going wrong, it should appear (based on
your current configuration) in the debug log file.  Any messages that
TMDA spits out should appear in your qmail log file (the qmail-send
log, not the SMTP log).  You might try looking at that to see why the
message is deferred.
