My knee-jerk reaction is that TLS is not authentication. After skimming through the relevant spec [0], it is interesting how NTP uses TLS.
[NTS-KE] uses TLS to establish keys, to provide the client with an initial supply of cookies, and to negotiate some additional protocol options. After this, the TLS channel is closed with no per-client state remaining on the server side. [0]
