The code in question seems to be fine, I've compared it to some simple
Python code I use to test SMTP AUTH and it seems to be the same code at
it's heart.

   import smtplib, sys, os

   if len(sys.argv) != 4:
      print ('usage: %s <host> <login> <password>'
            % os.path.basename(sys.argv[0] ))
      sys.exit(1)

   server = smtplib.SMTP(sys.argv[1])
   server.set_debuglevel(1)
   server.login(sys.argv[2], sys.argv[3])
   server.quit()
