It appears that your mail server wants to use SSL. The smtpmail.el in
XEmacs appears to support this provided you have an external program
(starttls) available. My own mail server doesn't do it so I have
nothing to test with. I suggest taking a look through your
smtpmail.el and see what you need to do to support SSL and trying
that.
