As I do not have a valid username/password combination at your
server (nor a server which supports 'auth login' - only md5 stuff)
I don't think I can help you very much.

I get a (535, 'AUTH failed') response which is what I would
expect from RFC 2554.

If you get this working, though, please let me know. Authorization
support would imho be a Cool Thing(tm) for smtplib.
