I'm just guessing as you don't post your entire smtpd.conf:
auth needs a table (in your case "creds", but it misses the <>), which
you have to define beforehand and point to your file via the "table"
keyword.
At the end of smtpd.conf(5) you have examples.

I am hosting with tls-require at port 587

In creds, I have for user foo

But when I authenticate using client Monocles mail, I get invalid username or
password, with STARTTLS.
Logs say
smtp authentication user=foo result=permfail
smtp failed-command command="AUTH PLAIN (...)" result="535 Authentication
failed"
What is the issue?
Thanking you
