As Patrick tried, it might be worth trying a manual session to the SMTP
server. I don't think it should be a TLS issue however because, having
just looked at the rogers.com link, some mail clients are supposed to be
configured as "Use secure connection (SSL): is set to Never".

telnet smtp.yec.phub.net.cable.rogers.com 25

and give a ;

EHLO rogers.com

This gives, for me ;

250-fep02-mail.bloor.is.net.cable.rogers.com
250-HELP
250-AUTH=LOGIN PLAIN
250-AUTH LOGIN PLAIN
250-PIPELINING
250-DSN
250-8BITMIME
250 SIZE 7168000

So ...

Using the SASL_README, can you try some combinations of your username &
password i.e. SASL_README uses an example ;

AUTH PLAIN dGVzdAB0ZXN0AHRlc3RwYXNz

"Instead of dGVzdAB0ZXN0AHRlc3RwYXNz, specify the base64 encoded
form of username\0username\0password (the \0 is a null byte). The
example above is for a user named `test' with password `testpass'."

Produced via a Perl command line of ;

perl -MMIME::Base64 -e 'print encode_base64("test\0test\0testpass");'

What about trying typing ;

AUTH PLAIN <N>

and use whatever <N> is produced from the above Perl command line - for
2 formats ;

user = 'userrogers.com' + normal password
user = 'user' + normal password

(there seem to be 2 username formats for different clients)

For PLAIN or LOGIN, the readme says that you need ;

smtp_sasl_security_options =

in the /etc/main.cf file. Check via ;

postconf smtp_sasl_security_options

There has to be some way of getting this manual method working surely?
If not, I'd hope the ISP would be able to diagnose.

Cheers,
