git send-email says AUTH is unknown command?

git send-email prompts for my SMTP password then says: Command unknown: 'AUTH' at /usr/lib/git-core/git-send-email line 1573.

That line reads:
smtp_auth_maybe or die $smtp->message;

Why is it complaining that it does not know what AUTH means? It is connecting to port 25 and /should/ be using STARTTLS.
