This is normal and expected behavior. By default, you can't do a
plaintext password negotiation in an unencrypted session; you must use
either POP3-SSL or negotiate TLS. This means that, in general, you can
not log into a POP3 (or IMAP) server by use of the TELNET program.
If you do a CAPA command, you will observe that the USER capability is not
listed and the STLS capability is.

Democracy is two wolves and a sheep deciding what to eat for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
