The two most common reasons for this are:

- the peer does not like the certificate's hash functions. Some hash  
functions, like MD5, are considered deprecated, and some TLS peers will  
reject certificates that use deprecated hash functions.

I would expect, though, for letsencrypt to be up to speed, in this regard.

- the most literal meaning: the peer does not like the server's list of  
supported ciphers, some TLS peers will only find DHE ciphers acceptable, for  
reasons that are unimportant. Check what TLS_DHPARAMS in the esmtpd-ssl  
configuration file is set to, and make sure that it actually exists, and  
contains DH parameters. There should be a script that periodically generates  
the dh parameters file (at least the default Courier scripts do).
