Ok... this is/was a bug in the python smtplib:

Patch #1075928: AUTH PLAIN in smtplib.

"smtplib can not log in to some server using command AUTH PLAIN, it  
sends
``user\0user\0pass'' to the server, but ``\0user\0pass'' has better
compatibility."

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/python/python/dist/src/Lib/ 
smtplib.py?rev=1.69&view=log

No kidding.

Your best bet is to update to a more recent version of python/smtplib.

Cheers,

R.
