As Evgeniy mentioned, your auth plain data is formatted incorrectly.
But I also wanted to point out that it would be much easier for you if
you were using swaks to test this:
swaks --to you@??? --from websales@??? --server
mail.exsportee.biz --auth --auth-user websales@???
--auth-password testPassword
Passing "--auth" without specifying "login" or "plain" will make swaks
try each available advertised method until one works. If you want to
force it to use one (as an example, plain), then adjust the
commandline to read "--auth plain".
You can add "--quit-after auth" to make swaks stop the smtp
conversation after attempting auth (whether it succeeds or fails).
