How about (setq mew-use-smtp-auth nil) or
("use-smtp-auth" . nil) in mew-config-alist?

Quoting from Mew manual, section "SMTP":

| Some SMTP servers are mis-configured. They requests authentication
| though errors occur if passwords are received. Mew automatically ask a
| user to input user's password and send it to an SMTP server if it
| requires authentication. To get along with such SMTP servers above,
| configure as follows:
| 
|      (setq mew-use-smtp-auth nil)
| 
| `mew-use-smtp-auth'
|      If non-nil, Mew send user's password if an SMTP server requests
|      authentication. The default value is `t'.  If `nil', Mew does not
|      send user's password even if the (mis-configured) SMTP server
|      requests authentication.
