In spite of what is said on the MS support sites, try it with
authentication set on and off in the 'advanced sending options' of the
account preferences.

As an alternative, look to using Postfix Enabler to turn on the mail server
in OS X 10.3.x - you can then send mail by using 'localhost' as the server
address in the sending mail server part of the account settings. This will
work in almost all locations, except possibly where the ISP is hijacking
port 25 traffic.
