Which version of Debian?

If you run this by hand, what error do you get?

What is the output in *Messages* on the setup that works? Which of the
tls/ssl related commands succeeds?

I would start by comparing versions of gnutls and openssl on the two
setups, and by running the command that succeeds by hand on the other
setup, to see what error is returned.

My first guess would be that your Debian installation has stricter
demands on what TLS versions/etc. are accepted.

Although I just tested running:

 $ gnutls-cli --x509cafile /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt -p 993 
mail.wservices.ch

on a Debian stable machine and a Debian unstable one, and both worked,
so my guess might be way off.
