Description:

There is a bug in ssmtp.
When a password (AuthPass= ... in /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf) contains '#' character then sending mail fails with Authorization error.
Probably its because # is taken as a comment character instead of not parsing everything between AuthPass= and <new line>.

Workaround is to change the password in both mail server and /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf to make sure it does not have '#' in it.

Additional info:
* package version: 2.64-5
