CRAM-MD5 Auth Failed

Postfix/Dovecot are tossing back:

warning: ip6-localhost[::1]: SASL CRAM-MD5 authentication failed: [long hash like string]

Setup is with Custom SMTP options with all the details filled in other than the password. Then added the custom smtp to wp-config.php with the same details with the addition of the password.

Same email and server, I setup Rainloop and it connects and sends with CRAM-MD5 but you need to edit the config to turn plain auth off and CRAM-MD5 On. Incase both things use phpmailer or similar library..

imap_use_auth_plain = Off
imap_use_auth_cram_md5 = On
smtp_use_auth_plain = Off
smtp_use_auth_cram_md5 = On

Not sure if its something in my setup or if the CRAM-MD5 isn’t functioning right?

Cheers,
