I don't bother with the check before send: With v1.8b8 SIMs does SMTP AUTH. On the web interface on the SMTP screen check "Advertize AUTH Capability". (I haven't used the Communigator client in years so I can't tell you where it is there...)
As far as I can tell the AUTH uses the same account and password information as is used for POP access.
