Some more info from exim-users:

Jakob Hirsch
| Which openssl version is this? 0.9.7f (on FC4) sends "EHLO some.host.name"
| before STARTTLS.

Heiko Schlittermann
|    OpenSSL 0.9.7e 25 Oct 2004
|    and
|    OpenSSL 0.9.8a 11 Oct 2005
|
| both do not send 'EHLO'.  (Debian)

Jakob Hirsch
| Looking at the sources, they put it into 0.9.7 starting with the f
| version, but not in 0.9.8/8a (for whatever reason). The change is trivial,
| it does not even check if the server supports STARTTLS.
