This patch appears to cause problems for me.

My server supports the SMTP submission port (587) for MUA-sourced mail. Authentication is required to send messages, and the AUTH methods supported is only displayed *after* STARTTLS succeeds in establishing a secure connection. My SMTP server advertises PLAIN/LOGIN after STARTTLS succeeds.

What appears to be happening is that TB is seeing no AUTH methods initially (before STARTTLS) and telling me that "The server does not support any compatible insecure authentication mechanism but you haven chosen insecure authentication."

Does this patch check available methods *before* or *after* a (user-enabled) STARTTLS secure connection is established?
