I do the test with the special character password below

~`!@#$%^&*()-_+={}[]|\/:;"'<>,.?

And I realised nginx mail module encoded the % to %25, but the rest of the special character are fine, is it pre encoded from mail client level ?

 *3653 http header: "Auth-Pass: ~`!@#$%25^&*()-_+={}[]|\/:;<>,.?" 
 *3653 http proxy header: "Auth-Pass: ~`!@#$%25^&*()-_+={}[]|\/:;<>,.?"

I have implemented a nginx with mail module, and proxy to backend Hmail server. I realized no matter how I disable the auth-methods PLAIN. The nginx is just ignoring it.

How can I force to using smtp_auth login instead? As Hmail server does not support AUTH_PLAIN mechanism.

auth_http  localhost:8080/auth.pl;

 server {
        # not working as always AUTH_PLAIN
        listen    25;
        protocol  smtp;
        smtp_auth login;
#       starttls on;
        timeout 5s;
        proxy on;
        xclient off;
        proxy_smtp_auth on;
    }
