Well I'm not sure where and how to open a ticket but in the meantime I search through the internet for a solution and then the source code and the answer lies in adding
server.esmtp_features["auth"] = "LOGIN PLAIN" at the right place in Mail class at the gluon/tools.py file. for my current application case I just did a dirty fix and add that line at the end of the if self.settings.tls and not self.settings.ssl: conditional, because those are the settings I'm working under now, so it suits me fine, and it now works. For a proper fix, it's probably better to add a Mail setting like: settings.auth = 'plain' (vs 'cram') or settings.plainlogin = True or something like that to make it selectable option, or just catch the error and try again with the "plain mode on"? Not sure what the best coding practices are, but I suppose this information is enough for someone that knows the web2py class Mail well to wip up a real fix in a couple of minutes whereas it would take me hours. Regardless, if no one picks this up, point me to where I should submit such a change and I'll try and see what I can do over the upcoming weekend.
