Judging by what I see, your Emacs mail client is failing to
authenticate to the SMTP server to get out the mails.

The 535 looks very much like an SMTP error code coming back
=66rom the server.

Double-check your mail credentials with your system administrator.
As to how you put that in your Emacs configuration -- that'll
depend which mail library you are using. If you tell us, someone
might have more hints. =20

That's something I'm definitely out of my depth.
