I am trying to send email directly from my database, using the database mail functionality in the SQL server. The issue I am having is around SMTP Auth, now Microsoft asked me to request the Azure support Team to enable the basic authentication SMTP Auth, how do I go about this?

    Hi Nkululeko Tshabalala,

    By default Azure Blocks SMTP ports on Subscription level you can get that enabled with Azure Support :
