You need a much better definition of "a connection cannot be established"?
Surely you don't mean, for example, failure to establish a TCP connection?  
Transient network glitches should not result in failure to deliver email.

What happens if the SMTP server is restarted while some clients are
still connected, perhaps mid TLS handshake?  Should that lead to mail
bounces?

...

I am quite sceptical of the wisdom of such an "immediate bounces"
policy.
