is nothing else than a pointless polemic attitude

maybe on your server, my logs showing the opposite and since
the "smtp" are outgoing messages your conclusion of "nobody"
is strange

cat maillog | grep smtp | grep -v smtpd | grep TLS | wc -l
12327

cat maillog | grep smtpd | grep TLS | wc -l
13350

cat maillog | grep smtp | grep -v smtpd | grep TLSv1.2 | wc -l
2603

cat maillog | grep smtpd | grep TLSv1.2 | wc -l
2219
