I don't see how it can. This config shows how fetchmail *gets* mail
using pop3 authentication, the *sending* of mail has nothing to do with it.
But then, thats probably what the OP meant. I don't think ISPs implement
smtp authentication, they just perform an ip check to allow anybody on
their network to use their smtp servers.
