^^^^^^^^
You try and do a plain login - gmail tells you "Authentication is
Required".... it's not saying "password failure" if that's what you're
confusing "authentication" with - it's *refusing* PLAIN XOAUTH *and*
saying "Authentication Required" (session).

Nice try but I've been using email longer than that, and I remember the
introduction of SSL (and TLS) and the first CAs. :-)

I wasn't being deliberately obtuse - I just "assumed" you'd failed to
post the relevant information given that you'd specified the use of
SSL/TLS, which *requires* a CA.

If a simple mailx script (which demonstrates using the Mozilla CA) is
useful I posted one here:-
