Yes, the "problem" is man-made.

We want to provide a service to our users where they can choose if they
want to require TLS on the MTA connection based on the domain from where
they send mails from or to which they receive mails.

The bounce message is needed to inform them that their communication
partner's MTA is not able to speak TLS with us. Then they can decide if
they want to send the message via unencrypted channel or not.

The "require TLS between MTAs" feature is completely optional.
