Is it true that adrenal fatigue is a recognized medical condition that lowers cortisol and other adrenal hormones?

No. A 2016 systematic review concludes there is no substantiation that adrenal fatigue is an actual medical condition, and a reference work labels it an alternative-medicine term. One case report describes a patient with mild adrenal insufficiency and low cortisol whose presentation was likened to so-called adrenal fatigue.
