"I shouldn't get anything TLS-specific until TCP connection is established."

How do you know it isn't established, did you check? I suppose there's a
very slight chance that error may bubble up for some related reason such
as out of random bits so I guess that's possible. Turn on
CURLOPT_VERBOSE [1] which should show the extended error information or
use CURLOPT_ERRORBUFFER [2].

"curl_easy_cleanup()  -- I know it is inefficient"

Yes. Typically you'd have a multi handle which shares the connection
cache. In the most recent version of libcurl it's possible to share a
connection cache between easy handles without using a multi handle by
protecting that resource using CURL_LOCK_DATA_CONNECT [3] and then
sharing that with each easy handle. However it's a new feature and some
bugs were recently fixed that haven't made it to release yet. If you are
interested in trying it wait until the release of 7.58 in two weeks.

this once:
CURLSH *connshare = curl_share_init();
curl_share_setopt(connshare, CURLSHOPT_SHARE, CURL_LOCK_DATA_CONNECT);
curl_share_setopt(connshare, CURLSHOPT_LOCKFUNC, lock);
curl_share_setopt(connshare, CURLSHOPT_UNLOCKFUNC, unlock);

and in each easy handle:
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SHARE, connshare);

Also please read about libcurl thread safety [4].
