Hi Sven,
You can mock the call to the external service like this.
@mock.patch.object(MyModelBackend, 'authenticate') # First the
class of your model backend. Then the method you want to mock.
def test_something_that_uses_login(self, mock_authenticate): # The
mock object is passed to your test method
mock_authenticate.return_value = # whatever your authenticate
method to returns
# the rest of your code
