Thanks Ondřej!

And Bingo, that was it! Specifically I had to 
set_option(ldap.OPT_X_TLS_NEWCTX, 0) after setting the TLS options in 
order to apply the settings.

Future People, note the docs I had been missing until now are 
https://github.com/python-ldap/python-ldap/blob/master/Doc/reference/ldap.rst. 
See the Warning section until "TLS options".
