Hmm, are you sure the info in .authinfo is being sent to
eternal-september?

I had the same problem you mention recently (with
reader80.eternal-september.org, because port 119 is blocked at work),
and after several tries, this worked for me (the group list was
available without any special command):

in .gnus:

(setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "reader80.eternal-september.org"
                                (nntp-port-number 80)))

in .authinfo:

machine reader80.eternal-september.org login xxxx password xxxx force yes
