Same here. This was the second time I had to copy/paste dummy certificates for all my domains, one by one, just to start apache.

Then I had to recreate Let's Encrypt certificates manually.

Somehow, when Plesk generated new ssl's, it change the configuration file but didn't writ the new ssl's on disk.

This described issue should be solved by now with the current existent Plesk Let's Encrypt extensions.
