Error while connecting to SMTP mail server with Connection Security as "STARTTLS"

We had configured the SMTP mailbox, with connection security as "START TLS". The same was working for the past few months perfectly until 30-May-2020. Since 30-May-2020, the connection between ServiceNow and SMTP server fails, and throws a message similar to the below.

Email sender connection invalid.: Cannot connect to SMTP server: mail103.xzy.com, as: SPPSEHBG, message: Could not convert socket to TLS, cause: java.security.cert.CertificateExpiredException: NotAfter: Sat May 30 03:48:38 PDT 2020

My gut feeling is that the issue is not at the ServiceNow end, but need insights, so that I can inform the other team in fixing this, as they come back stating that the issue is on the ServiceNow end.

Any help in this regard is highly appreciated.
