Mail relay to Office 365 from IIS SMTP Relay
Since about a month we cannot relay email from our IIS SMTP Relay to Office 365. This has worked for a long time, therefore I do not get why it is not working anymore. The account used is still active and Iám able to sign-in with the account. I've even completely reinstalled and reconfigured the SMTP relay role in IIS following this procedure:

I'm getting the following warning in the eventvwr:
Message delivery to the host '40.97.153.170' failed while delivering to the remote domain '##########.COM' for the following reason: The remote SMTP service rejected AUTH negotiation.
Hope you guys can help me out here.

Hi, this is an old post but I got this same issue. I had to enable the SMTP Auth option at the mailbox level, on Office 365:
Enable SMTP AUTH for specific mailboxes- Open the Microsoft 365 admin center and go to Users > Active users.
- Select the user, and in the flyout that appears, click Mail.
- In the Email apps section, click Manage email apps.
- Verify the Authenticated SMTP setting: unchecked = disabled, checked = enabled.
- works for me, ty
- Verify the Authenticated SMTP setting: unchecked = disabled, checked = enabled.
Step 4 must be enabled. in order to work ?
Verify you are not using "Integrated Windows Authentication" and you are using "Basic Authentication" for Outbound Security. Also the "Domain Name" should not match your Email Domain since you want to email to send via the Smart Host.

Be sure to read the scenarios very carefully as it doesn't apply to all IIS SMTP Relay setups.
Note that this will be forced only from 1st February, so the root cause is definitely different here.
