Nagios doesn't know about or really care about authenticated SMTP since
it doesn't handle the mail delivery. Your mail notification commands
probably use /bin/mail(x) to send the e-mail which in turn only passes
it to the SMTP server running on the nagios machine. You need to
configure that SMTP server (sendmail, postfix, qmail, whatever it is) to
smarthost to your ASMTP server _and_ act as an ASMTP client. Your mail
server documentation is going to be your best resource but these links
might get you going in the right direction --

Sendmail -- http://www.sendmail.org/~ca/email/sm-812.html#812AUTH
Postfix --
