You can use gnutls-cli:
gnutls-cli --insecure --port 8443 localhost -e
or s_client from stunnel:
openssl s_client -host localhost -port 8443 -tls1
With s_client, you have to input R and press Enter, it will try to
renegotiate then (awesome hack). Also, note that s_client has problems
while renegotiating with TLS1.2 (that's why I've added -tls1 option).

With renegotiation set to yes (default), both of the above should
succeed. With set to no, the client will be disconnected as soon as i
tries to renegotiate.

You can also use online scanner like
https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/index.html to verify this, if your
stunnel instance is available from the Internet.
