OK, both methods worked plain and login! :)

Since TLS is the preferred way, I've tried to use it. With 
msmtp --serverinfo --account=tanren I get:

SMTP server at mail.tanren.pl (s72.superhost.pl [212.162.20.156]), port
25:
    s72.superhost.pl ESMTP Exim 4.52 #1 Thu, 28 Dec 2006 15:00:39 +0100
Capabilities:
    SIZE 52428800:
        Maximum message size is 52428800 bytes = 50,00 MB
    PIPELINING:
        Support for command grouping for faster transmission
    STARTTLS:
        Support for TLS encryption via the STARTTLS command
    AUTH:
        Supported authentication methods:
        PLAIN LOGIN
This server might advertise more or other capabilities when TLS is active.

But after turning tls on with tls_starttls off I get:

msmtp: TLS handshake failed: error:140770FC:SSL
routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unknown protocol

and with tls_starttls on I get:

msmtp: TLS certificate check failed: the certificate owner does not
match hostname mail.tanren.pl

Any ways if that's something simple to handle then I'll try, but if more
complex then I don't want to use your time.

Big thanks for help!
