Getting TLS working

I'm trying to use libesmtp with TLS and I have been unable to get it
working.

I'm testing with an Exim mail server that is configured for TLS and
offers STARTTLS. If I require TLS my program just sends a quit to Exim.
If I just enable TLS it tries to send unencrypted. My best guess is that
it doesn't like my configuration in some way. I have the root
certificate in ~/.authenticate/ca.pem and the client certificate in
~/.authenticate/private/smtp-starttls.pem. Everything is readonly.

Am I missing anything? Does the code need anything more than
smtp_starttls_enable()?

Are there any keys or pass phrases needed? What else could stop it from
initiating a TLS session?
