So I believe (and I’m sure that one of the experts here will correct me when I 
get it wrong), in order to send UTF8 the receiving server needs to advertise it 
will accept 8BITMIME. Mimecast does not advertise that:

nc service-alpha-inbound-a.mimecast.com 25
220 eu-smtp-inbound-1.mimecast.com ESMTP; Mon, 21 Oct 2024 15:10:30 +0100
EHLO wordtothewise.com
250-eu-smtp-inbound-1.mimecast.com Hello [104.225.223.158]
250-STARTTLS
250 HELP
quit

Google does advertise that:

nc smtp.google.com 25
220 mx.google.com ESMTP 5614622812f47-3e6102ab430si1715351b6e.119 - gsmtp
EHLO wordtothewise.com
250-mx.google.com at your service, [104.225.223.158]
250-SIZE 157286400
250-8BITMIME
250-STARTTLS
250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES
250-PIPELINING
250-CHUNKING
250 SMTPUTF8
quit

So the issue might be that you’re attempting to send 8 bit mime to a service 
that doesn’t support it. So it might not be rspamd that’s the problem here, but 
rather your instance of postfix isn’t handling ESMTP correctly.
