i owuld bet evolution is misconfigured and you should contect your
serveradmin because this is the only person who can look what
exactly happens

what auth-method are you using and what does you server support?
telnet you-smtp 587

below a smtp-session to look what the server supports

[harry at srv-rhsoft:~]$ telnet mail.thelounge.net 587
