Thanks for this footnote. I used it to rule out whether
or not STARTTLS was rhe (main) problem,
Turns out it wasn't: a direct TLS connrction yielded the
same unsuccessful results. This caused me to look more
closely at the first SMTP transaction log whicn should
have issued a STARTTLS command.
Unfortunately, Emacs only records in its
*trace of SMTP sesssion to...* buffer the responses from
the SMTP server and mot also what commands are sent to it.
So while I presumed that a STARTTLS command wasn't being
issued because it failed and I wasn't being asked to
provide a password, a now closer look reveals that it
apparently was sent.
So it's failing for another reason which a direct TLS
connection helps to confirm.
It appears I have a similar problem as Ulrich Mueller
which he reported back April of last year in bug#26359;
https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=26359
His workaround. a `defadvice` also works for me.
Hopefully. a fix will solve these issues and allow one to
designatre for a partiular network connection that a
password is required (supplied or prompted for) upon an
initial connection and not just only after an initial
unauthenticated connetion failure;
Not sure if this bug report should be merged with bug#26359
as I have more than just one issue or should I open up new
bug report for those?
Thanks.
