You have to use the auth method defined in Net::SMTP, by doing this, you don't need to worry how to deal with the SASL (Simple Authentication and Security Layer). 
$smtp->auth("myuid", "mypasswd");

MIME::Lite has a method called send_by_smtp, which allows you to pass parameters to the Net::SMTP object that MIME::Lite will create, but those are only the parameters will be passed to Net::SMTP->new, not the auth method we memtioned above.

MIME::Lite is mainly intended to allow you encode your mail msg, although it provided the send method as bonus, but it is never intended to be a full implementation of those RFC's. Even for msg encoding, it is not fully RFC-822 compliant.

If you are serious about the full implementation, the right way is only to use MIME::Lite as the MIME encoder, and to use Net::SMTP to deal with the mail server.
