Issues with Office365 SMTP AUTH recognition

Hello,

Here is flow for your script
1) Connect to SMTP
2) ELHO
3) Read AUTH mechanisms and store them
4) Try AUTH mechanism
5) Send email etc...

In case of Office 365 above flow does not work as it requires Starttls command after EHLO then only Office365 display its AUTH mechanisms
Due to this your script does not get any mechanisms and thus fails to work further.

Please let me know how we can fix this?

That is what happens here, it starts with a regular EHLO, then STARTTLS and then EHLO again but this time over a cryptographic connection. Isn't that what happens for you?

So you know, I tried to send a delivery with following settings and it went well as expected:

$smtp->host_name="smtp.live.com";
$smtp->host_port=587;
$smtp->ssl=0;
$smtp->start_tls=1;
$smtp->user="[email protected]";
$smtp->realm="";
$smtp->password="somepassword";

Resolving SMTP server domain "smtp.live.com"...
Connecting to host address "65.55.176.126" port 587...
Connected to SMTP server "smtp.live.com".

Office365 works fine here too.

Check with your hosting company that port 587 is open on your server! This was many times the issue with my customers having problems.

And if you are running PHP 5.6 you may have problems with peer certificate validation:
