This means the smtp server does not advertise SMTP AUTH. The smtp
connection tests for this smtp extension and if it does not find AUTH
it returns that error.
That smtp username and password is then used in one of the supported
authentication methods (eg login, plain, cram-md5 etc.). Its not for
SASL.

You can double check the server by doing a telnet to the port (25 or
587) and sending EHLO fqdn and see what smtp extensions are supported.
