That is not quite what 10061 means.  The connection request is being
rejected by the OS itself, not the SMTP server socket.  10061 means
that the SMTP server could not be reached at all because there is no
socket listening on the specified port.  Or the port was reched but is
overloaded with too many pending connections.

10061 has nothing to do with authentication.
