Seems CRAM-MD5 capabilities of your server are not entirely.
The Bat! uses always CRAM-MD5 when connecting to this server as it is
announced in EHLO-greeting. The Bat! refuses to use 'lower secure'
authentication method(s) if server announces to be capable of a
'higher one'.

I guess the other MUA and the other SMTP-server use AUTH PLAIN or AUTH
LOGIN and that's the reason they don't fail.

Nevertheless: I've tried AUTH PLAIN manually ....

"... DEFER: MYSQL connection failed: Can't connect to local MySQL
server through socket ..." (cut system related off :-))

Maybe your CRAM-MD5 also fails behind the scenes and just does not
propagate the MySQL-error to the front?! The message I get when
CRAM-MD5-authenticating is the very same you have in your server logs.
