smtpmail.el does the following on MAIL FROM:

               ((and auth-mechanisms
                     (not ask-for-password)
                     (eq (car result) 530))
                ;; We got a "530 auth required", so we close and try
                ;; again, this time asking the user for a password.
                (smtpmail-send-command process "QUIT")
                (smtpmail-read-response process)

So it should ask for a password if the server has announced a
willingness to accept auth.

Which it has:

250-AUTH GSSAPI NTLM LOGIN

So I don't understand what's going on here.

Emacs User, could you try to edebug through `smtpmail-via-smtp' and see
what happens when you send an email?
