Yes, smtpd should not die in this case. Can you share the nmap command and script you are running? I tried the following and it worked as expected:
nmap -sV -Pn -p 25,587 --version-intensity 8 --script ssl-enum-ciphers \
servername
The server did not exit and nmap returned the list of ciphers as
expected. The log message:
smtpd: process pony socket closed
makes it sound like the smtpd pony express process crashed.
