Great. This will be simple.

In the transports section you have a transport named 'remote_smtp'.
Add this line to that trasnport.
authenticate_hosts = mail.btinternet.com
In the authentication section (end of the file) you'll find some
comments with some example authentication drivers.
# plain:
# driver = plaintext
# public_name = PLAIN
# client_send = "^name^password"
#
# login:
# driver = plaintext
# public_name = LOGIN
# client_send = ": name : password"
#
# cram_md5:
# driver = cram_md5
# public_name = CRAM-MD5
# client_name = username
# client_secret = password
Uncomment the appropriate one(s) and specify your username and
password. Which one works will depend on which authentication methods
the server supports. Hopefully it supports cram_md5 because that is
the most secure (of these three at least).
(if 'mail.btinternet.com' isn't the server you want to deliver the
mail through then just change it to the one you want)
