offndam,
Since your Avast .ini file shows Default SMTP=0, then Avast is expecting “authentication”.
Either set Mozilla to use "authentication or change the AVAST .ini to read Default SMTP=1
Try the above and see if it changes things, but whatever you do, stop uninstalling. It is not necessary to do so at this point. It obviously will not cure the problem.
