No, thats right. Thats not the problem. the problem is, that some MTA are configured that way, that them haven't the AUTH capability when not in secure-mode. Means, a ehlo before starttls will give a list without AUTH but with STARTTLS and when setup a secure connection then ehlo will give a list with AUTH but without STARTTLS. So them make sure, that users just authorize if connection is crypted and don't sending plain passwords. So the question means, if there is another trick possible to get libetpan sending the AUTH without sending a ehlo again after starttls 'cause mailsmtp_auth looks for the AUTH flag set inside the structures of smtp. If not - it's not a real problem, it's just not such nice sending commands twice.
