Issue with mail delivery when enabling SMTP/TLS settings

Hello,

when we configure our Domino servers (version 8.5.3) for secure SMTP sessions using STARTTLS according to this documentation

http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21108352

almost all mails are not being delivered anymore except some single mails (no idea, why those were delivered but the majority not). At the moment we have no TLS or certificates installed which we will get through a third party vendor. Anyone has got an idea, what may cause this issue? Thank you in advance.

Subject: Nobody?

Nobody has got an idea or knows this kind of issue?
