I have a new install of dovecot 2.3.13, along with exim 4.94, in an Azure hosted FreeBSD 12.2 VM. I have been running exim on local hardware with FreeBSD for 15+ years, but dovecot and Azure are a new "learning experience". I am getting an error response in dovecot.log when trying to use the submission relay function, which is apparently new in 2.3... It would appear the parser is either broken or has a character set limitation that no other smtp implementation has. I finally gave up trying to figure out what I might have done wrong in setting up exim and pointed dovecot at mailjet and got the same error.

I didn't try the mailjet path with telnet, but I had done that earlier with the local exim server and I can't see any invalid characters, even in the tcpdump pcap file.

This might be some confusion about starttls on the mailjet path, but if that is true the error message is wrong; and it wouldn't be true for the local exim open smtp port. If it really is smtp, it would be most helpful if the error message actually reported what string it is taking issue with.
Hi!
Can you provide the rawlogs?
