The problem is probably exactly what log says it is... authentication failure. Verify your userid/passwd combo with your ISP.
If the userid/passwd is the same as the combo used to access your ISPs mail servers, you can verify the combo yourself by telnetting to port 110 of your ISPs POP server and typing the following commands:
[pkn@halifax pkn]$ telnet
www.nesbit.ca 110
Trying 192.168.69.1...
Connected to
www.nesbit.ca.
Escape character is '^]'.
+OK <2383.994812093@localhost>
user pkn
+OK
pass your_passwd
+OK
