On clicking "send' the mail just is retained in the outbox w/o sent.

You are right.  It is a relay problem but I can't solve it.  

First I tried with login -> password to send.  It always complained
password incorrect.  I also tried None, TLS, SSL etc. includind uncheck
"server required authentication" all w/o improvement.  It popup "RCPT
TO <user1 abc com> failed: <user1 abc com>: Relay access denied"
