I'll assume you want this to work without setting nntp-authinfo-file. If you set that, it's only for nntp so it's less useful than the general auth-source solution which is available since Emacs 23.1. Can you set auth-source-debug to t and see what shows up in the *Messages* buffer? There should at least be a (auth-source-do-debug "auth-source-user-or-password: get %s for %s (%s)" mode host protocol) log message in there. If not, auth-source is not getting called.
