Solved the problem…
For people that have, like me, a smtp mail server with SASL mechanism and want configure Alfresco to use it, the steps are:

1) In your custom-repository.properties, in addition to the other mail properties, add the property for the authetication mechanism

# Set this value to true for utilizing SASL(Simple Authentication and Security Layer) mechanism
mail.auth=true

2) Modify the file <alfresco home>\tomcat\webapps\alfresco\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\core-services-context.xml adding to the mailService bean a javaMailProperties property to manage the authentication

<!–                        –>
<!– MAIL SERVICE –>
<!–                        –>

<bean id="mailService" class="org.springframework.mail.javamail.JavaMailSenderImpl">
        <property name="host">
            <value>${mail.host}</value>
        </property>
        <property name="port">
            <value>${mail.port}</value>
        </property>
        <property name="username">
            <value>${mail.username}</value>
        </property>
        <property name="password">
            <value>${mail.password}</value>
        </property>
        <property name="defaultEncoding">
            <value>${mail.encoding}</value>
        </property>
    <property name="javaMailProperties">
           <props>
      <prop key="mail.smtp.auth">${mail.auth}</prop>
   </props>
        </property>
</bean>

Evidently the name gived to the property in the custom-repository.properties must match with the value used for setting the "mail.smt.auth" value in the core-services-context.xml file.
Hope this post could be useful.

Best regards
