You don't give us enough information to tell. Like your "curl -V" output that
would tell us your curl version and what TLS library that's being used and
some clues on what backend that is for your NTLM use.

In curl we make an effort to return the correct error code for all error
sitations but sometimes we have a bug and sometimes the underlying API from
the function we use in the system or 3rd party library doesn't give the
information clearly enough for us to differentiate between different
situations in the way we'd prefer.
