How's this (from src/mailman/mta/docs/authentication.txt)

The SMTP server may require authentication. Mailman supports setting the SMTP
user name and password. The actual authentication mechanism used is
controlled by Python's `smtplib module`_, which tries `CRAM-MD5` first,
followed by `PLAIN` and `LOGIN`. When sending authentication data between
Mailman and the MTA over an unsecured network, the submission (mail) server
should support `CRAM-MD5`.
