    We've seen similar problems with a handful of users, and I'm afraid we
    never found a solution except to allow those users to use plain text
    auth. My best guess is that one of the libraries that the broken
    Outlook depends on has gotten hosed somehow, but we never got to the
    bottom of it. IIRC, the Postfix logs just recorded that the client
    tried to start a TLS/SSL connection, and then spontaneously
    disconnected or otherwise failed.

    Best of luck to you, and let us know if you find a solution.
