SIPPROXY_E_CONNECTION_UNKNOWN_SERVER (TLS negotiation error)

Recently I encountered a very strange issue:

After installation another Lync Frontend Server, in this case a SBS. The Federation was broken.
Incoming via the Edge Server everything looked fine. Meaning, incoming Federation request, e.g. presence or IM, as well as remote access from users hosted on this SBS were working correctly.
But all outing communication to federated partners didn't work at all.
After using the OCSLogger and analyzing the logs in SNOOPER, I saw an error message: The peer is not a configured server on this network interface and SIPPROXY_E_CONNECTION_UNKNOWN_SERVER
coming along with another message: winsock-info="The peer forced closure of the connection"
I used the RUST tool internally verifying the SBS certificate, it was correct. Even requesting the certificate again didn't help at all. Even I imported the Topology on the Edge server again!
What this clearly explains was, if the SBS was presenting it's certificate, it didn't work. If the Edge Server was presenting it's internal certificate to the SBS, the SBS was accepting it.
This is because in the TLS NEGOTIATION message, I identified the peer:
Local-IP: 172.28.248.131:5061 (EDGE INTERNAL)
Peer-IP: 172.28.10.10:59238 (SBS)
Since the SBS had a high port, it must have been the sender.



Resolution:
I had to restart the SBS Frontend Service and the Edge Access Service. This solved the issue.

BUG:
I believe this is a bug, normally if the certificate is assigned, even during the service using it running, the service should query the certificate directly from the certificate store. but in whatever circumstance it is not doing so correctly. This is why you have to restart services, at least on the SBS, the server newly established in your environment.

Note:
A similar issue occurs, e.g. if you setup the Exchange OWA integration for presence and IM. IF the Exchange Server is not trusted server in the Topology, you will find a similar issue on the Frontend server.

For your better understanding, here are some traces of this case:
Starting with the EDGE Server first
