I'd make some further inquiries for details. If it is actually using
authentication, one of the solutions proposed by others may do just fine.
However, I have to wonder if they're using the anti-relaying measures used
by many SMTP servers these days. In short, if your machine is not in the
trusted domain (it's address is specifically configured for relaying), then
it can't forward. This can be done by specifying the IP address (range
usually), domain name or other specifics. For this discussion, the important
thing is that it is NOT something that you can remedy on the client side.

See if you can get more specifics as to what authentication, if any, is used
and whether you need to be entered in the server's config to allow relaying.

Good luck with it!
