Would an interface that generate the packet to send and just return them as
bytes be even better ?

connect' :: TLSClient () ByteString

I'm hoping to have something like that so i can use quickcheck to verify that
all possible configurations result in a workable connection.

it's not doing the same thing as the socket listen(2).

it waits for the handle passed as argument to establish a new TLS session as
in: listen to the new tls connection.

after reading STARTTLS, you would call listen that would listen for the TLS
context to be established.

Please suggest something, if you want me to rename it though, as I can't really
think of a better name.
