Is there something common with these destinations? Is it possible to
add the zugschlus.de to the list of possible destinations and send a
test message to mh+debian-packages at zugschlus.de?

Can you try establishing a SMTP/STARTTLS session to these destinations
with swaks?

swaks --tls --server destination.host.name.example --to some.address at domain.example

Swaks uses OpenSSL. To test a gnutls client, we need to use gnutls-cli
(gnutls-cli -s -p 25 destination.host.name.example, and proceed to do
SMTP on that connection, take the swaks transaction as an example)

No need to try that. Let's first check with a different client (hence
my swaks/gnutls-cli suggestion) and a different server (hence my suggestion
with zugschlus.de)

cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail

The number can have a range between 4096 and 0, the higher the better.
