I am trying to send an email from Outlook.com.  Every time I try to send a message it gets bounce back.  The message I'm getting is:

Reporting-MTA: dns;col0-wss1-s5.col0.hotmail.com
Received-From-MTA: dns;COL402-EAS167
Arrival-Date: Tue, 13 Aug 2013 18:15:52 -0700

Final-Recipient: rfc822;**email address**
Action: failed
Status: 5.6.2
Diagnostic-Code: smtp;554 5.6.2 Delivery SMTP Error. Command: 3. Response: 535 5.7.8 Error: authentication failed: 
. Type=1 (-956218626:896:-2147418113)

This is happening even if I'm sending an email to myself on the same account.  It happens whether I try to send using the webmail or Outlook 2013.  I don't understand how authentication failed when I'm logged onto the site.  I don't know if it matters, but I'm using a personal domain for my login/email address.
