Ok, that really seems to be the case. When I use (add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods '(nntp "Uni" (nntp-address "news.uni-koblenz.de") (nntp-open-connection-function nntp-open-plain-stream) (nntp-port-number 119))) as a select method ensuring that it won't upgrade to TLS, I can post without issues.
