The current last line in smtp.log.1 is timestamped `Jun 07 06:00:10 2023`,
so it doesn't *look* like the upstream bug/fix you linked to affects this
setup.

  But thanks for the heads up.  That fix being from only 4 days ago no
doubt means it won't be in bookworm's packages, at least not at
promotion to stable this weekend.  Hopefully it will be backported in
ASAP.
