Huh.  Hm.  Could it be an encoding problem?  That is, would binding

    (let* ((coding-system-for-read 'binary)
           (coding-system-for-write 'binary)

before opening the connection, and/or

  (set-buffer-multibyte nil)

in the buffer be the right thing?  smtpmail.el didn't use to do that, so
I didn't do that either, but I think that would make sense.

Could you try the following patch?

It's announcing AUTH as it should...

We're getting the right error message, so at this point, smtpmail should
be asking you for a password, which it didn't.

When I try the same, it does, so perhaps it's more line-ending encoding
issues?  Seems awfully strange though, but there's a slight possibility
that the patch above fixes this too.
