The SSL handshake now would have to be continued by the client by sending the ClientHello message. How long does it take until the connection is closed by the foreign host? If it takes just a few seconds, the server does have a problem (server process is crashing or tcpwrapper/libwrap is used and your connection is not allowed). In this case there probably is nothing you can do about it. If it takes 30 seconds or more the server most likely did shut down the connection as it did not see the ClientHello and timed out. In this case the next testing step would be to use s_client to see how far the SSL connection can be negotiated.
