I’m trying to sort out a problem with Roundcube failing to send email with an 
error message that says SMTP Error(): authentication failed. In the roundcube 
error log I find this:

[16-Jun-2024 13:58:24 -0500]: <5s9tomcd> PHP Error: SMTP server does not 
support authentication (POST 
/webmail/?_task=mail&_unlock=loading1718564304121&_framed=1&_action=send)
[16-Jun-2024 13:58:24 -0500]: <5s9tomcd> SMTP Error: Authentication failure: 
mail.stovebolt.com <http://mail.stovebolt.com/>

I was pretty sure that I had authentication enabled and working on Postix.

grep smtpd_sasl /etc/postfix/main.cf
smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous
smtpd_sasl_local_domain = $myhostname

To test this I used openssl s_client to connect to postfix. I typed EHLO, then 
typed AUTH LOGIN. I was prompted for a username (converted to base 64), which I 
entered, and then for a password, which I entered. I was then able to type 
commands as expected.

I also tested using an incorrect password, and the login was rejected. So, it 
appears to me that postfix is working correctly
