Hmm...
Tests on my local system (with OpenSSL 1.0.1e shipped with distribution) using sslscan with no cipher configuration directives in the server configurations (only listing the "Accepted").

Any reason why the *DHE* ciphers seems not to be supported during OpenLDAP scan which they are with Apache on the very same system?
Because you have to set the TLSDHParamFile / olcTLSDHParamFile config option.
If that file doesn't contain DH parameters for the requested key length, then slapd/libldap will use compiled in parameters for 512/1024/2048/4096 lengths or generate parameters on the fly, so you can just use /dev/null as the 'file' for the option.
Once you add that, slapd will negotiate DHE cipher suites.
