This does not happen in "openssl s_client".  You're likely doing
something wrong.

In one window I start an openssl server:

    $ cipher=ADH-DES-CBC3-SHA
    $ seclev= # Make that seclev=":@SECLEVEL=0" with OpenSSL 1.1.0 or later
    $ openssl s_server -quiet -cipher "$cipher$seclev" -nocert -accept 12345

I another window I start a client:

    $ cipher=ADH-DES-CBC3-SHA
    $ seclev= # Make that seclev=":@SECLEVEL=0" with OpenSSL 1.1.0 or later
    echo XXX | openssl s_client -debug -no_ign_eof -cipher "$cipher$seclev" -connect localhost:12345

On the server side I see the expected output:

    XXX

On the client side after lots of handshake messages:

    >>> ??? [length 0005]
	17 03 03 00 24
    write to 0x7f7f8bd003d0 [0x7f7f8c80b203] (41 bytes => 41 (0x29))

	01 00

The first of these is the "XXX" encrypted to 16 bytes, and padded
with a 20-byte SHA1 MAC (the server and client negotiated TLS 1.2
with Encrypt-then-Mac).  The second is the encrypted shutdown alert.

No.
