I've increased the value to 30. This worked. No more timeout.

However, I also tried to link dovecot against a self compiled dynamic
openssl 1.1.1 and in that case, there's no issue at all. (With timeout
value 10.)

Another issue is that linking against a static openssl 1.1.1 fails
miserably. But apparently there are more and more products that ignore
the premise that linking against a static openssl is safer. dovecot is
not the only SW that does not work with a static openssl variant.
