With setting of `auth_http`, you are defining an URL to the service
responsible for authentication (and upstream choice).
Of course then you should have something that would response to the
auth-requests (your own upstream, or some nginx location, or some
"foreign" http-server).
See https://docs.nginx.com/nginx/admin-guide/mail-proxy/mail-proxy/ [11]
for more examples.
> Maybe it's easier not to use auth_http at all? I was trying to remove it from configuration file but nginx was not happy.
I have my own auth-module so I don't know how it can be solved in
stock-nginx without this directive.
Take a look here -
https://serverfault.com/questions/594962/nginx-understanding-the-purpose-of-auth-http-imap-proxy
[12] - you can use some nginx location (and internal URL to same nginx
instance) to specify that.
Anyway it is recommended to use some auth (on nginx side), because it'd
preserve the resources of mail-servers, allow you to authenticate email
clients with same user/password for all mail-servers (smtp, imap, pop3,
etc) as well as the same user/pwd as for some other http-services. And
it is used to choose an upstream server (if multiple) for the email
processing.
> At this point I don't need any authentication. I was told by my boss to use nginx for load testing of our service sending emails (SMTP client). I've got some SMTP Server and nginx would be used as SMTP proxy because it allows to set up delays.
Well, an auth request to some nginx-location would allow you to set up
delays even on authentication phase.

Although, it was compiled with "--with-mail" (you can see all parameters
in provided GH-link [9])
But it would not help, because basically your issue seems to be the
configuration (not the nginx.exe).
