SMTP error on Thunderbird.91.0.3
I installed Thunderbird.91.0.3 under Leap 15.3, and everything worked fine. But I was able to send mail messages only, but no postings to newgroups.
When I tried to post to a newsgroup, Thunderbird.91.0.3 refused to send it, displaying this error message:
A News (NNTP) error occurred: posting failed
and after pressing "ok":
Sending of the message failed.
The message could not be sent using Outgoing server
(SMTP) smtp.omc-mail.de for an unknown reason. Please
verify that your Outgoing server (SMTP) settings are
correct and try again.
An "unknown reason", how nice!
So, I had to return to my good old Thunderbird.78.12.0.
Bye, Wolfgang

It would be interesting to see if setting "mailnews.send.jsmodule" and "mailnews.smtp.jsmodule" to false fixed the issue.
Thunderbird 88beta introduced a new JS based sendmail.
Those settings revert to the previous sending code. If it does work then it sounds like you have actually found a bug in the new code. Given the exceedingly low numbers actually using NNTP it does not get much exposure in the beta cycle and is unlikely to be fixed unless it get documented as a bug.
