 Mixed up request types with methods, guess you know what I mean
 nevertheless.

That's ok. Thanks for the help.

Hello Wilfried,

 I cannot test this at the moment, but if I set in TSmtpCli (ICS V5):
 AutType := smtpAuthAutoSelect;
 And fill in the userName and passWord (at creation time), is this
 enough that it find all possible autentication types (seems to be
 quit a few)? 

It's enough. It even probes for types not announced in the EHLO response.
It failed if no authentication was required.

thank you Arno for fast answer,

Does it not matter how the code is written (OnRequestDone), eg like
this:

  case RqType of
 smtpConnect: begin
Cli.Helo;
 end;
 smtpHelo: begin
Cli.Mail;
 end;

Meaning, I don't use Ehlo method or so.

EHLO is required for authentication, otherwise an exception was raised.
As long as HELO is supported by mail servers you could call smtpHelo if 
no authentication is wanted and smtpEhlo otherwise.
Something like this:

case RqType of
smtpConnect:  begin
  if SmtpClient.AuthType = smtpAuthNone then
  SmtpClient.Helo
  else
  SmtpClient.Ehlo;
  end;
smtpHelo: SmtpClient.MailFrom;
smtpEhlo: SmtpClient.Auth;
