The simplest would be to just ask what is offered, for example:

steve@gashuffer:~$ nc mail 25
220 mail.lobefin.net ESMTP Exim 4.34 Mon, 30 Aug 2004 17:40:19 -0400
ehlo me
250-mail.lobefin.net Hello www.lobefin.net [216.158.52.108]
250-SIZE 52428800
250-AUTH LOGIN PLAIN
250-STARTTLS
250 HELP

That machine offers LOGIN and PLAIN.
