I disagree with that: I believe a typical Roundcube installation uses
IMAP credentials to authenticate to the submission server.  Downgrading
the severity accordingly.

It's not an SMTP error code; Roundcube refuses to proceed because
smtp_{user,pass} are set while the SMTPd doesn't offer authentication.
Does adding

    $config['smtp_user'] = '';
    $config['smtp_pass'] = '';

to the configuration fixes the problem?
