Thanks for your suggestions; simplified patch to tls.el attached.
A few questions below:

Out of curiosity: why would ordinary `let' be better here?

Yes, but this will result in a endless loop if the regex does not
match the program output for some reason (for instance, a new version
of `gnutls' changes the wording of the messages).
I understand that this problem may occur in many places, and that
tls.el would already loop forever if `tls-success' does not match;
but I would rather add more "watchdog" counters instead...
Anyway, I removed the `attempts' counter and related code, as per your
suggestion.
