Since there was authentication information in esmtpauthclient for this host, courier looked at the EHLO response for an authentication method it could use. But this host does not admit to using any authentication at all. So courier gave you an error and didn't send any mail. When you took the authentication information for this host out of esmtpauthclient, courier no longer looks for how to authenticate with this host and just sends the mail. Your ISP must be doing some other type of authentication (like ip addresses, etc.) since I assume it's not an open relay.
