Bug#611674: cyrus-clients-2.4: smtptest falsely claims user is authenticated

Package: cyrus-clients-2.4
Version: 2.4.5-1
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/smtptest

If I use smtptest with the -a and -u options but without -m, it claims
that I am authenticated when I am not.  It does not even try to issue an
AUTH command.  I am certain that bk2204 at example.com is not an authorized
user at the domain I've specified (since I administer that server).
imtest does not do this; it tries to use LOGIN and prompts for a
password, which I believe is similar to what smtptest did in earlier
versions (except I think it used PLAIN).
