It looks like .net/mono needs a PFX format certificate, which I can generate, but it does't work when I do. I either get "--Error loading cert file", or it throws an error in SSL.AuthenticateAsServer.
It won't help much but I host fTelnet under Win32 and it's using a PFX
file from Lets Encrypt just fine. Didn't do anything special, and it
renews when necessary using WACS.
Here is the block of code throwing your error. Prob gonna look like crap
through the wrapping.

Environment.SetEnvironmentVariable("MONO_TLS_PROVIDER", "btls");
}
// Try loading the certificate to ensure there are no problems
var testCert = Config.Default.Certificate;
} catch (Exception ex) {
// Loading cert failed, so wipe the filename to ensure we don't try
loading it again later
RMLog.Exception(ex, "--Error loading cert file");
Config.Default.CertificateFilename = null;
