Allseems to be all right, until I close the connection, at which point a packet with TCP reset is produced. 

Hm.  It's fairly obvious from the postmaster log that the client side
is not bothering to close the transaction it started:

app=[unknown]LOG:  disconnection: session time: 0:00:00.006 user=monitoring database=postgres host=127.0.0.1 port=40797 

There's no COMMIT or ROLLBACK to go with the BEGIN, and that's reflected
in the fact that the disconnection message shows c=idle in transaction.
Now, I doubt that would have any impact on the TCP-level session behavior,
but it suggests that maybe the client isn't bothering to close the session
cleanly either.  The RST rather than FIN would then likely be caused by
SSL having to do an unclean shutdown.

            regards, tom lane
