Usually you manually tell tinc that a particular client has gone by
sending a SIGHUP signal to it. There probably no configurable option to
automatically remove a client from network once it's config (key) file
was removed.

But does not it happen automatically? Tinc tries to open
config file on next connection attempt, and if that fails - denies it.
At least on 1.0.x.
