As I understand you, it would be a better option of my server to offer
starttls "upgrade".

In case you know about ejabberd configuration. The appropriate lines
look like the following.

 [{5222, ejabberd_c2s,     [{access, c2s},
                            {max_stanza_size, 65536},
                            starttls_required, {certfile,
"/etc/ssl/private/mycert.pem"},
                            {shaper, c2s_shaper}]},

Anyone knows how to adapt it?

Should I file a bug report?
