Username without Email Extension in PHPMailer

I want to use my university email server to send/receive emails for a project which hosts on our university server. We have true username and password for an email. As an example: Our login username is like "xxxxxx" for email address "[email protected]" on Squirrelmail. Username has no email extension. I can login and see emails by using these credentials:

Username: xxxxxx

Password: yyyyyy

Now I set my PHPMailer settings like that:

define('SMTP_HOST', 'mail.metu.edu.tr');

define('SMTP_PORT', '587');

define('SMTP_SECURE', 'tls');

define('SMTP_USER', '[email protected]');

define('SMTP_PASSWORD', 'yyyyyy');

HERE IS THE PHPMAILER ERROR:

SMTP -> ERROR: Password not accepted from server: 535 5.7.8 Error: authentication failed: authentication failure 
SMTP -> FROM SERVER:250 2.0.0 Ok 
SMTP Error: Could not authenticate.

All settings are correct. The password is correct too. Because I can send an email to myself by using another hosting with a username "[email protected]" if I set username(email address) "[email protected]" on mail server, not "xxxxxx". I think in university hosting they set email adresses without extension. But I really need to send/receive emails on this host.

How can I fix this PHPMailer problem without intervention to host properties.

First check if your server accepts passwords plain or md5 hashed. I think you are sending it as plain.
