I think it's always tricky.   Basically, anything that goes wrong that
indicates an unauthorized user trying to obtain access seems like a
reasonable thing to include.   Failing authentication for submission
seems like exactly that case.

Of course, problems include authorized users doing things wrong and
getting blocked, and authorized users sharing IP addresses with
attackers getting blocked -- but that doesn't seem to be about SMTP
specifically.
