Not familiar with the error message. Could be al sort of things. 

What you could check: 

1. Is SMTP not blocked? (Firewall/policy)

2. No policy that blocks basic auth?

 

Have you tried the following code: 

 

# Sender and Recipient Info
$MailFrom = "sender@senderdomain.com"
$MailTo = "recipient@recipientdomain.com"

# Sender Credentials
$Username = "SomeUsername@SomeDomain.com"
$Password = "SomePassword"

# Server Info
$SmtpServer = "smtp.domain.com"
$SmtpPort = "2525"

# Message stuff
$MessageSubject = "Live your best life now" 
$Message = New-Object System.Net.Mail.MailMessage $MailFrom,$MailTo
$Message.IsBodyHTML = $true
$Message.Subject = $MessageSubject
$Message.Body = @'
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
This is a test message to trigger an ETR.

# Construct the SMTP client object, credentials, and send
$Smtp = New-Object Net.Mail.SmtpClient($SmtpServer,$SmtpPort)
$Smtp.EnableSsl = $true
$Smtp.Credentials = New-Object System.Net.NetworkCredential($Username,$Password)
$Smtp.Send($Message)
