Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/issues/930

The net/smtp package does not support AUTH LOGIN out of the box, but some SMTP servers only use AUTH LOGIN (instead of AUTH PLAIN).

It seems like this is all we would need to do to add AUTH LOGIN support (plus add a config value like smtp_auth_login)

I know Outlook is a big one. The one that prompted this ticket was OVH Cloud email. I don't need the feature (and might not have a server to test with either), but someone was affected by it, so I put it in here
