I can’t send emails from third-party applications thunderbird gmail mobile
I have managed to configure it in thunderbird and gmail mobile, but when I try to send it gives me an authentication error
“The login to the server mail.consulproy.com with the username user@domain.com has failed”
You need to look at the servers mail logs at the time of the authentication.
Yes, server logs will tell you the problem but in this case it is likely that the client is not authenticating itself before it sends out mail.
In Thunderbird and Gmail app, you must enable the option that says outgoing server requires authentication - and enter the email credentials again for this.
That will let you send out mail.
The log gives me this error

If the password is entered correctly
What would be the configuration?
Its pretty clear its incorrect password. Maybe you have entered a space somewhere.
I think if the SMTP encryption type was wrong the error would be different.
I have verified and the password is correct, but the access error occurs
You are using the correct username, go to edit user and check the username column.
The username maybe not have the domain name.
I already checked it and everything is fine, maybe some configuration in postfix?
If you installed using the Virtualmin installed script and not changed anything in postfix it should work.
Hang on this is the webmin forum, that could be a issue with incorrect configuration. I would recommend you use Virtualmin, the install script configures everything to work off the bat, but the install script requires a clean OS to install on, no adding software like postfix dovecot etc as virtualmin will do that for you.
No. As @stefan1959 said, when you install Virtualmin via Automated Installation | Virtualmin — Open Source Web Hosting Control Panel everything is configured correctly, including Postfix. None of us have to make changes in Postfix configuration to get third-party applications / email clients like Thunderbird and Gmail app to work.
The installation was clean from virtualmin to webmin, but because thunderbird made the correct configuration to have the email, but when sending it gives an error.
