Submission crashes when relaying over TLS

Hi Stephan,

I actually found the problem.

If I downgrade to 2.3.10.1, it no longer crashes and outputs a proper 
error message. The issue was here:

> ssl_client_ca_file = </etc/dovecot/ca.crt

It takes the file path rather than its contents so the "<" shouldn't be 
there. Also, I needed to disable "submission_relay_ssl_verify" since the 
cert isn't for "localhost" (this also causes a crash on 2.3.11.3).

Thanks,
Alec
