As I suspected: * Your old server supported "insecure" ("plain text") SMTP AUTH methods (LOGIN and PLAIN) even over unecrypted SMTP connections [it is not the recomended way]. * Your new SMTP server supports LOGIN and PLAIN "SMTP AUTH" only over encrypted connections as indicated in reply to second EHLO in my test. [ BTW *DO* change your SMTP password ] My test on the new server: >>> EHLO ...... <<< 250-mta1.es.aau.dk Hello ...... <<< 250-SIZE 52428800 <<< 250-PIPELINING <<< 250-STARTTLS <<< 250 HELP >>> STARTTLS <<< 220 TLS go ahead >>> EHLO ...... <<< 250-mta1.es.aau.dk Hello ...... <<< 250-SIZE 52428800 <<< 250-PIPELINING <<< 250-AUTH PLAIN LOGIN <<< 250 HELP So: Your problem (IMHO) is how to *force* gnus to use STARTTLS (encrypted connection) in SMTP session to give it a chance to use SMTP AUTH (that has worked).
