I'd still like to see encrypted connections for Xymon client messages going

Yeah, this definitely is a feature which would be very nice to
available out of the box.
Nevertheless you can do that already now with stunnel as I mentioned:
(And yes, I'm still hoping and waiting for IPv6 support, too,
especially in xymonnet-based checks. Reporting to IPv6-only servers is
no issue though, if you anyways use stunnel to encrypt the
client-reporting traffic.)
Debian's xymon package ships /usr/share/doc/xymon/README.encryption
with hints how to implement encrypted reporting with Xymon.
The current version can be found in our packaging git repository at
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/xymon/blob/master/debian/README.encryption
although I'm thinking about renaming it to README.encryption.md as I
wrote it in Markdown syntax.
It also refers to this more detailed documentation:

HTH!
Kind regards, Axel
