I don't get exactly the same behaviour, but the approach points to
a work around.

If I leave the mail.smtpserver.smtp1.username at the default value
of "" (also provided by the Reset), i.e. no username, I cannot connect
to the SMTP server. As soon as I provide the name of an existing user
(basically myself) that works (without asking for a password).
