When OpenSSL is configured to only load "base+fips" providers into the Null library context, md5 might not be available at all. In such cases currently CPython fallsback to internal hashlib implementation is there is one - as there might not be if one compiles python with --with-builtin-hashlib-hashes=blake2. With this change "default" provider is attempted to be loaded to access nonsecurity hashes.
