SMTP authentication does not work at all, won't even ask for password

Hello,
SMTP authentication does not work at all for me and I can't send messages if I
can't SMTP AUTH to my SMTP server on each and every mail.
I'm running this :
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.1b) Gecko/20020721
Symptoms : I check the "Use Name and Password" in the smtp settings.
I enter my login code to the SMTP server.
When I attempt to send messages, Mozilla don't even ask me (as the help says it
should) for my password. And I immediately receive a refusal from my server
which does not allow the smtp session to go further without authentication.
So I can't say that Mozilla does not support this or that SMTP AUTH method (my
server gets LOGIN and CRAM-MD5) : I think it don't even try to authenticate as
it don't even ask me for my password...
That's a show-stopper (for me).

Tested also with latest win32 build today (2002072608), same problems.
I have not yet found a single SMTP server (accessible by me) where the AUTH
would happen with Mozilla. It is not a server issue.

I'm adding this a dup of bug 25974, which explains that you have to set a
special preference first. If it doesn't work with you, please report in bug
25974. And I would complain about the lack of GUI, if I were you.
