Sorry if I've missed this in the thread, but what version of Debian
is this?

On Debian 8 I found I had to disable the mozilla/DST_Root_CA_X3.crt
to force usage of the other Let's Encrypt root. I did that by doing:

$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure ca-certificates

then de-selecting mozilla/DST_Root_CA_X3.crt

Updating certificates in /etc/ssl/certs...
0 added, 1 removed; done.

I then was able to connect to things with a Let's Encrypt cert.

That was for web services though; I don't use any Debian 8 machines
for connecting to IRC. On the more recent Debian host that I use for
IRC I have no problem connecting to libera or aachat with TLS.

Cheers,
Andy
