SMTP Authentication Failed

I’m having trouble getting the SMTP configuration set correctly. I believe it worked some time ago, but I needed to change the email account and now the result I get is “authentication failed”. I have verified the user name and password and can send email from other mail clients (e.g. iPhone). This is for an external smtp server at a hosting company with a domain I own.

I currently only have settings in the application “Admin Area”. I don’t have any environment variables. On other email clients I need to set “Use SSL” to True. Do I need to set that in an environment variable?

[SOLVED] Well, this is kind of embarrassing … I thought I had verified the password, but, in fact, I was using the wrong one. Once I applied the correct password, it worked as expected.
