Quoting Patrick Ben Koetter <p...@state-of-mind.de>:
The saslauthd password verification service can't deal with shared-secret mechanisms such as cram-md5. Remove "cram-md5" from $mech_list in /usr/lib64/sasl2/smtpd.conf and the Nokia E51 should be able to auth. p...@rick
You guys rock... I am so impressed by not only the detail and effort but also the speed of responses. Thanks all so much.
p...@rick was correct, it was because I was offering CRAM-MD5 that the Nokia was trying to use it. Remove that offering and Bingo! the Nokia has fallen back to LOGIN.

And thanks also to Eero for explaining why the server wasn't appearing to offer SASL but it is really - and to Barney for testing my setup remotely! :)
As to Jan being allowed to propose configuring the Nokia to use TLS and PLAIN - thanks Jan - yes you are allowed... :) It's now working using TLS and LOGIN mech.
Thanks again guys - kudos to you all for helping me out. -- Simon Wilson www.simonandkate.net
