This code is a mess and you make it even more messy.

What frustrates me most is that it's a trivial refactoring and
you prefer explaining why a fix is impossible rather than making
a good fix.

You *can* change the responsibilities of all of these functions so
that everything works nicely without extra branches and having to
pass existing_connection through several layers of calls.

You can leave reconnect in protocol_sm, but you can make sure
protocol_sm is never called without an existing connection.
You can make the first connect directly in create_transport(),
or better yet, as I first suggested, outside, removing the need
for connect_impl().
