sendxmpp doesn't work with TLS on FreeBSD

I installed FreeBSD 12.1 on my Raspberry Pi 2 yesterday and I have some issues with sendxmpp (version 1.24) not working for me. I have the package security/ca_root_nss and I have tried specifying every single path I could think of.

$ echo "Test" | sendxmpp <adress> -t --tls-ca-path="/usr/local/etc/ssl"

I have also noted that it looks like FreeBSD uses one single file for the certs while some (all?) Linux based operating systems uses one file per cert, at least in Gentoo and Debian.

Is there anything I can do to make this work? sendxmpp is a very important must have tool for me.

Thank you for your time!

I have a very similar issue, with TLS on Debian:

(I "solved" my issue by using the drop-in replacement go-sendxmpp that uses the same configuration file and worked.)

lhost / sendxmpp
