appenders bug configuration layouts priority: P1

Description

Essentially, I am trying to test the sending of log messages using Syslog over TLS protocol. My tests work completely fine with TCP but break for a number of reasons (since we've upgraded from JDK17 -> 21). The trust store is being set programmatically along with the 'SSL' protocol. However, I encounter issues whereby you get NPE's for it being unable to initialise the SSL Configuration required.

With an SSL block it 'seems' to work, but that hasn't been required before and as per the log4j docs should still not be required as long as the system variables for the trustStore etc are being set before any appenders are created. Would greatly appreciate any assistance on this 🙇 .

Configuration

Version: 2.25.3

Operating system: Windows 11

JDK: JDK21

Reproduction

I've converted my kotlin code into a basic JUnit test that aims to send a log message via TLS through Syslog. Apologies for not providing a comprehensive test in this case but the kotlin file should have enough to be able to run. You might just need to setup a basic GenericContainer companion class that uses the image 'balabit/syslog-ng:4.4.0'.

minimal config.xml
