Please do not obfuscate addresses!
It makes it hard to debug your session.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There should be STARTTLS. If you didn't write the XXXXXXXA, then it's
some indication that you're using some firewall device that intercepts
the SMTP session. I'd first check that device and try to send the
messages bypassing that firewall.

This firewall seems to prevent the usage of encrypted sessions. Probably
because it wants to scan the content. It is probably your firewall
that destroyes your session, as soon as it sees content it doesn't like

That is some other issue, I'd say.
