Comment (by datallah):

 I tried connecting to your sever and what's happening is the server is
 hanging up as soon as we try to negotiate TLS - there's no more visibility
 on the client side to what is happening.

 I'm pretty sure that the issue is that there's no overlap in cipher
 suites.
 According to https://xmpp.net/result.php?id=39807#ciphers you only support
 a few ECC ciphers.

 Until NSS 3.16, ECC Ciphers were not enabled by default.

 The NSS 3.17.1 build that Pidgin 2.10.10 for Windows ships with (and I
 guess the build on your OS too) is built with ECC ciphers disabled.

 I'm going to revisit that for the windows build, but that won't help you
 much since you're not using Windows.
