Reset response step in AUTH LOGIN initialization
The addition of `a.respStep = 0` resets the response step counter at the beginning of the AUTH LOGIN process. This ensures that the state starts correctly and avoids potential issues related to residual values from previous authentications.

// 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
