      Steps to reproduce:
      1. Compile, install, configure and start an IPMI simulator from OpenIPMI source code to see some sensors with 'ipmitool':

      $ ipmitool -U ipmiusr -P test -H 127.0.0.1 -p 9001 -I lanplus -L administrator sensor list
      Unable to Get Channel Cipher Suites
      MBTemp           | na         |            | na    | na        | na        | na        | 112,000   | 144,000   | 160,000   
      SubTemp          | na         |            | na    | na        | na        | na        | 112,000   | 144,000   | 160,000

      2. Create an IPMI test host in Zabbix frontend (see attachment zbx_export_ipmi_host.xml).
      Note IPMI settings:

      Authentication algorithm: Default
      Privilege level: Admin
      Username: ipmiusr
      Password: test
      

       Enable only one 'MBTemp' sensor.
      3. Make sure the IPMI simulator is running.
      4. Run Zabbix server.
      For some reason authentification fails between Zabbix server and IPMI simulator.
      The IPMI host in Zabbix frontend turns red with error message "cannot connect to IPMI host: [22] Invalid argument'".
      5. Stop IPMI simulator.

      Result:
      The IPMI host in Zabbix frontend turns green and error messages get stored as item values:
      2024-05-14 10:37:19 cannot connect to IPMI host: [22] Invalid argument
      2024-05-14 10:38:05 cannot connect to IPMI host: [16777411] Unknown error 16777411

      Expected:
      IPMI host in Zabbix frontend stays red with some error message, no data values in history.
