In this case the error tells you everything you need to know.

This is a base 64 encoded string that says "Username:"
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
501 malformed auth input (#5.5.4)
You replied with plain text, which is wrong. You need to send the base64
encoded [EMAIL PROTECTED], then it'll send back a base64 encoded
string that says "Password:", to which you reply with the base64 encoded
password. Simply reading the smtp auth spec would tell you how each auth
method is expected to work.
Hope that helps,
