I suggest that you try anyway. If that doesn't work, you can try
to publicly shame them:

They are running a software version that has doesn't even have
support anymore and has known security issues, otherwise you
wouldn't be getting this error.

As I already explained, the interoperability bug is on the server
side, where the ignore what you send and pick something you didn't
send, while they actually support what you did send.

This can be worked around by lowering the security level from 2 to
1, so that you also send what they're going to pick anyway. For
instance this works:
openssl s_client -connect voscomptesenligne.labanquepostale.fr:443 -cipher DEFAULT at SECLEVEL=1
