Well, that would indeed be quite silly. How would any clients know to
authenticate if AUTH isn't advertised?

Are you _sure_ your windows boxes are authenticating? Try doing a
tcpdump of the connection between your windows box and the server to
see what exactly is going on. I don't know enough about windows mail
clients, but perhaps your mail client is falling back to an
unauthenticated connection when it can't use SMTP AUTH.
