Try setting it to 4: org-e-html.el says (around line 1475)


--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
   ;; table of contents
   (let ((depth (plist-get info :with-toc)))
     (when (wholenump depth) (org-e-html-toc depth info)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

even though that contradicts the docstring for the variable.
