Do you (or anyone) know of a reliable list of MUAs supporting and not
supporting which of these features?

Typically, someone offering authenticated SMTP is more or less forced to
cater for a huge variety. :(

I'm thinking that a viable solution is to have different MUA-facing
servers, with different feature sets and requirements, depending on the MUA.

outlook.smtp.mydomain.example :)
