With respect, if you don't understand the documentation, perhaps a
little background research to enable you to understand it might not go
amiss. Floundering with prescriptions you don't understand usually
wastes a lot of time.

Having said that, the documentation does, give explicit examples of
configuring clients for AUTH, namely, the following authenticators:

  fixed_plain:                                    
    driver = plaintext                            
    public_name = PLAIN                           
    client_send = "^ph10^secret"                  


  fixed_login:                                    
    driver = plaintext                            
    public_name = LOGIN                           
    client_send = ": ph10 : secret"               


  fixed_cram:                                     
    driver = cram_md5                             
    public_name = CRAM-MD5                        
    client_name = ph10                            
    client_secret = secret                        


I can't tell you which ones of these to use, because you have not told
us which authentication method your smart host is using. I suppose you
could just put in all three and see what works.
