The LOGIN authentication mechanism needs TWO pieces of data, the user
name and the password, not the three that you have provided. Try
client_send = user1 : 1234
It's the PLAIN mechanism that needs three, of which the first is not
relevant to SMTP, which is why it is normally empty. If your password
really does contain a colon at the end, you'll need
client_send = user1 : 1234::
