qawanted for branch checks to see if this is a regression.

[Andrew Sutherland [:asuth] (he/him)]

This is operating as intended.  The log indicates that an attempt was made to use the user's general password instead of an application-specific password.  We removed the specific error message that tells the user to use an application-specific password when we introduced support for use of XOAuth2 via autoconfig (on both v2.1 and v2.2).  Our autoconfig mechanism is resilient for gmail/google-hosted domains through the use of MX lookups and so manual config should not be required.  If someone wants to use manual config to setup their gmail-hosted account and they have 2-factor auth configured, they need to know to use an application-specific password too.
