Refactor error handling in SMTP authentication
Centralized error definitions in `smtp/auth.go` and updated references in `auth_login.go` and `auth_plain.go`. This improves code maintainability and error consistency across the package.

// LoginAuth returns an [Auth] that implements the LOGIN authentication
// mechanism as it is used by MS Outlook. The Auth works similar to PLAIN
// but instead of sending all in one response, the login is handled within
// 3 steps:
// - Sending AUTH LOGIN (server might responds with "Username:")
// - Sending the username (server might responds with "Password:")
// - Sending the password (server authenticates)
// This is the common approach as specified by Microsoft in their MS-XLOGIN spec.
// See: https://msopenspecs.azureedge.net/files/MS-XLOGIN/%5bMS-XLOGIN%5d.pdf
// Yet, there is also an old IETF draft for SMTP AUTH LOGIN that states for clients:
// "The contents of both challenges SHOULD be ignored.".
// See: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-murchison-sasl-login-00
// Since there is no official standard RFC and we've seen different implementations
// of this mechanism (sending "Username:", "Username", "username", "User name", etc.)
// we follow the IETF-Draft and ignore any server challange to allow compatiblity
// with most mail servers/providers.
//
// LoginAuth will only send the credentials if the connection is using TLS
// or is connected to localhost. Otherwise authentication will fail with an
// error, without sending the credentials.
