The only thing I have on gnutls is:

    (setq gnutls-min-prime-bits 1024)

You can also try to set it to 256.

Otherwise if you can do it manually, but not
automatically with Gnus, you have to analyze what the
difference is between the two methods.

I never used gnutls-cli but this

    --insecure
    
sure sticks out compared to

    :stream ssl

If none of this shaman stuff helps you, post on
gnu.emacs.gnus as well to get in touch with a real
physician :)
