Well the code doesn't do that, I checked this first.

If the server says it isn't esmtp, the code tries EHLO FIRST, always and
if that fails, falls back to HELO.

However, if the server says it *IS* esmtp, it just does EHLO and passes
any error up the system.

Then, the error from helo also isn't tested anywhere until the callee -
so any error is kept but ignored, leading to the fact the mail is sent
successfully but evolution doesn't think so.
