Well, finally I solved the problem next way:

I've created a factory that inherits from ReconnectingClientFactory. In 
the __init__, I've created a deferred:

  def __init__(self):
        self.deferred = defer.Deferred()

If all goes ok, then self.deferred.callback('ok'), else 
(clientConnectionLost, etc) self.deferred.errback(reason).
When I create the factory to pass it to reactor.connectTCP, I save the 
deferred in a list:

  dlist = []
  myf = MyFactory(args)
  reactor.connectTCP(host, port, myf)
  myf.deferred.addCallback(lambda _: None)
  myf.deferred.addErrback(lambda _:None)
  dlist.append(myf.deferred)
  ...
  flist = defer.DeferredList(dlist)
  flist.addCallback(lambda _: reactor.stop())
  flist.addErrback(lambda _: reactor.stop())

  reactor.run()

I think it's the best way, only when all connections have finished the 
reactor is stopped.

Greetings.
