The following is an example setup which was tested on Ubuntu 20 and Debian 10/Buster

and PLAIN which suits for almost all mail server.
It already contains the USERNAME and PASSWORD to AUTHENTICATE.
This way the client does not need to authenticate itself anymore.
This example trusts the
Mailserver (
MTA) and does not verify the TLS
certificate,
this is a workaround for missing root certificate seen often in private environments.
