It looks like the authentication should work. It would be useful to find out what authentication actually fails with this:

If you note "your outlook ..." it means you are trying to configure SMTP on some client MS PC. But the telnet test above is from localhost. It would be useful to try it from the outlook client PC command-line. (You can get different result)

Please post some logs from maillog about the unsuccessful authentication.

It secures your connection to SMTP before you send user names and passwords.
