If it is any help, there's really no concrete reason for mail systems to
disable TLS v1.1 or v1.2 if they limit the ciphers to strong ones and
are using a modern implementation (e.g. OpenSSL 3.x, LibreSSL 4, etc.)
of TLS. Disabling everything except 1.3 is nice on a security checklist
because it won't soon be obsolete and it's simple, but it is not
justifiable by any tangible risks.
