I just found a way that we could do this: write a new vhost config file and then only write one additional line to the main config:

https://docs.ejabberd.im/admin/configuration/#include-additional-configuration-files

It's also possible to blacklist or whitelist options that can be set in the additional file. Furthermore, we can define macros to re-use shared options.

(That still doesn't solve the TLS certificate question for main domains, of course.)

Tadaaa, the solution for TLS certs:

Instead of giving the digest value to your new customer and telling them to make a TXT record with it, tell your customer to configure a CNAME from _acme-challenge.www.example.com to a domain name that you control and that is unique to the domain being validated

I think this is the way to go, unless I'm missing something.
