The system at 172.16.0.13 is a zimbra proxy. I can see in the logs that it initially complains about my ssl cert, and if I remove ssl=any-cert it fails because my cert is self signed, so I know it is talking to the proxy and doing starttls which is a requirement of zimbra. Unfortunately I have not found a way to see the full exchange between dovecot and my zimbra proxy other than tcp dump, which just shows a small packet exchange.
And unfortunately you failed to provide critical evidence - in this case the actual logs (and the tcpdump since you already have it) of a failed session, rather than your interpretation of it. But at least you provided your config (Timo is so good that often that is enough by itself, but even his crystal ball sometimes has problems).
I have found over the years that if you are having a problem to the point that you need to ask for help, it is time to step back and take a fresh look at *everything* - including having other eyes looking at *all* of the evidence.

Very sorry for the omission, please find the dovecot logs and tcpdump session attached. Please let me know if I can provide any other information and thank you again for your time.
