      Steps to reproduce:

      1. Pretty much a standard configuration, an Email media type clone in which I changed like in the attached zabbix_1 picture for use with OVH email service based on Exchange 2019(its their email SaaS). By default curl/libcurl you use in Zabbix 7.0.3 sends as default auth method GSSAPI (for OVH I checked this) and it cannot auth to OVH email SaaS. OVH works only with AUTH LOGIN in starttls mode it seems.
      2. When an alarm occurs it tries to send the email but it errors and I enabled Debug 5 to see why

      Result:
      See screenshot zabbix_1.png with configuration:

      See log file...

      OVH SaaS email its working only/better with AUTH LOGIN (see ticket ZBX-18532)

      See the problem below: Zabbix is sending at 862814:20240821:062105.234 an auth GSSAPI because probably GSSAPI is default in curl. But OVH does not work well with this, only with PLAIN, see swaks command much below.

      Another example: again we see at 1082130:20240821:080825.872 that we offer default GSSAPI instead of AUTH LOGIN.

      in this second example we see GSSAPI supported by OVH but it does not work.

      Expected:
      The email to be sent using AUTH LOGIN like this:

      I also tried to compile curl 8.9.1 without gssapi so to force it using PLAIN method but it did not work, I suppose you are using libcurl directly not the curl binary itself?
