I tried to configure windows live mail for an email account. Domain is hosted on a windows Plesk server .
Incoming mail is working but unable to send outgoing mails.

Subject 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
Server Error: 503
Server Response: 503 This mail server requires authentication when attempting to send to a non-local e-mail address. Please check your mail client settings or contact your administrator to verify that the domain or address is defined for this server.

Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC79
Protocol: SMTP
Port: 25

To send an email via SMTP which requires authentication you need to specify POP3 account credentials in your mail client. This is a protection from being spammed.
 
in outgoing mail server setting of your email client select option my outgoing mail server requires authentication.
