The maillog does not log the sm-mta: AUTH=server action. The functional 
server has the AUTH=server action logged. How do I debug from this 
different?

The mail client is Windows Live Mail and it work well with the functional
server. Its SMTP authenication should be ok.

your working server does support LOGIN mech while other one dosn't.
I doubt if your mail client has a support for GSSAPI DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5
auth, usually it's PLAIN or/and LOGIN.
