在moodle 3.0上发送电子邮件的SMTP错误

Question

I have the same Email configuration (in messages output) for 2 Moodle installation on the same server:

1. version 2.9.1+
2. version 3.0

I am using Exchange server as SMTP host server.

On the 2.9 the emails are working fine but on the 3.0 I am having an error:

Note that I am using the exact same configuration except that in 2.9 you don't have the option to choose between (LOGIN, PLAIN, NTLM) but it is exists in 3.0 and I have tried them all.

Does anybody has a clue what is going on? is it a bug or ma I missing anything, it has been 2 days and it is becoming frustrating.

Though this is an old discussion, for community reference the issue has been tracked in MDL-52637 and fixed in v3.0.3.
