Do not enable SSL, or secure password authentication.
But make sure you have send authentication enabled.
Go to Tools, Accounts, select that account, Properties, Servers.
The box for "My server requires authentication" must be checked.
If you still get an error with those settings, post the error message (if
different from the one below).
