Comment:

 The NTLM authentication protocol is unsecure, and
 [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc236715.aspx no longer
 recommended for use] by Microsoft, and we
 [https://irclogs.wordpress.org/chanlog.php?channel=wordpress-
 dev&day=2013-09-14&sort=asc#m688216 have decided] to intentionally leave
 this feature removed from the WordPress distribution.

 Please consider using a custom email plugin or dropin if you must still
 use NTLM.
