how did you do that?

there is no need to add it as long you did not break
your configuration intentional the time before

no

!MEDIUM likely is the reason

the confiig below works with every known Outlook version down to Outlook 
2003 on Windows XP in combination with a RSA4096/SHA256 key as well as 
with all other reasonable mail clients

ssl_protocols  = !SSLv2 !SSLv3
ssl_prefer_server_ciphers  = yes
ssl_cipher_list = 
ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:DHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:DHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA384:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA:DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256:DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA256:DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA:DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA:AES128-GCM-SHA256:AES256-GCM-SHA384:AES128-SHA:AES256-SHA:DHE-RSA-CAMELLIA128-SHA:DHE-RSA-CAMELLIA256-SHA:CAMELLIA128-SHA:CAMELLIA256-SHA:ECDHE-RSA-DES-CBC3-SHA:DES-CBC3-SHA
