Yes, you're right.
I meant to say that AUTHINFO is not expecting a UTF-8-encoded string.

For instance:

AUTHINFO USER Éric

is valid and should not always be transformed by nntplib to:

AUTHINFO USER Éric


News servers do a byte-string comparison (as specified in RFC 4643).  So if 
« Éric » is the expected user name, then it is this very name that is expected!
