try testing the authentification with a telnet session
from your windows box, if that works you can pin point the issue to your
mail client
if you dont know how to test it via telnet
use this nice tut :

connect to the server from the windows box using webmail, which means
the DNS is working correctly.

Hi Maxwell,
following your description this is not a authentification problem but
rather a DNS or configuration issue.
Did you set the correct servername for outgoing mails in Thunderbird?
Is the protocol (smtp, submission) open on your (outgoing) firewall?
"Cannot connect to server" is far before authentification.
Try telnetting from those windows clients.

I am having authentication problems that I cannot seem to figure out.
It always seems to happen with Thunderbird on Windows systems. I
cannot get the outgoing SMTP server to authenticate. It always
comes up
with an error, cannot connect to server. I am sure it's a problem
with
Thunderbird, but cannot seem to solve it. Anyone else have trouble
sending out using Thunderbird?
The mail server is QMT and authenticates fine from a Linux workstation
at the same location as the Windows box.
