I have answered my own question.

The remote host is reachable only by IP address.  Setting host=nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn 
causes Asterisk to send INVITEs to [email protected] instead of some 
[email protected].  This is what was causing the 403 response, it's not 
necessary to authenticate.

I haven't found a way to set the sip domain to be used for outgoing calls, so 
as a workaround I have inserted 'nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn sip.domain' into my /etc/hosts 
file.  Not elegant, but it works.

James.
