<p>Microsoft said “<em>We have turned off SMTP AUTH for millions of tenants not using it</em>”, which can result in this error message:</p>
<pre><code>535 5.7.139 Authentication unsuccessful, SmtpClientAuthentication is disabled for the Tenant.
Visit https://aka.ms/smtp_auth_disabled for more information.</code></pre>
<p>SMTP AUTH is necessary for third party email clients, which is also documented in <ahref="https://aka.ms/smtp_auth_disabled">the referenced article</a>. So, basically this means that Microsoft is pushing you to their own products. Isn’t this a bit of a monopoly?</p>

<p>Please see <ahref="#faq139">this FAQ</a> for possible causes of the error <em>… User is authenticated but not connected …</em>.</p>
<p>For unknown reasons, some Outlook/Hotmail accounts cannot send messages because of the server error ‘<em>535 5.7.3 Authentication unsuccessful</em>’. This can be resolved by authenticating the account with an (app) password (see above) instead of with OAuth. You should use the “<em>Other provider</em>” wizard instead of “<em>Outlook / Office 365 (OAuth)</em>” in this case.</p>
