Googling, 'SMTP AUTH' sounds like 'SMTP authentication'. This link: http://members.elysium.pl/brush/smtp-auth/ suggests it is part of ESMTP, and the Commons Net wishlist has 'Add ESMTP commands'.
There's also no AUTH in: http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/net/apidocs/org/apache/commons/net/smtp/SMTPCommand.html so I reckon Commons Net can't handle SMTP authentication yet. Looking at the FAQ, someone else has a question of: "Q: Does the SMTP client support ESMTP functions? Does it support RFC 2821, RFC 2822, RFC 2487 TLS, RFC 2554 authentication, RFC 2920 command pipelining, RFC 3030 large/binary messages, etc." so I guess AUTH is RFC 2554. So [net] guys, any chance of updating the FAQ to answer that one? There's also an unanswered question about FTPClient.
