Eureka! You're witness of the bug that I've fixed:

So the answer is:
1. Your servers don't support SMTP-AUTH _at all_
2. The old slave simply didn't tell you this. You've always used 
non-authenticated connections and you were never told.

Good news: The old slave never sent your password over the net.
Bad news: The new one does, as long as you force it to try AUTH PLAIN.
