Note the clue "incorrect authentication data."

Note that you are not *explicitly* passing $2 and $3 to perl{smtpauth}

Again, note that you are not *explicitly* passing $1 and $2 to
perl{smtpauth}

I don't believe your problem is with mail.app. I think your problem is with
perl{smtpauth}. Note that you are *also* not explicitly passing it the
authenticator type ("login" or "plain"). I am guessing it will only work
with one of these two authenticators, because it must be *assuming* which
fields are the username and password.
