how to use sendmail with office365 email account

I failed to use sendmail in combination with an office365 account.

I used the code below:

smtp = 'smtp.office365.com';
port = '587';
user = '[e-mail]';
psswd = 'mypassword';
emailto = '[e-mail]';
subject = 'test';
text = 'test';
setpref( 'Internet', 'SMTP_Server', smtp );
setpref( 'Internet', 'SMTP_Username', user );
setpref( 'Internet', 'SMTP_Password', psswd );
props = java.lang.System.getProperties;
props.setProperty( 'mail.smtp.user', user );
props.setProperty( 'mail.smtp.host', host );
props.setProperty( 'mail.smtp.port', port );
props.setProperty('mail.smtp.auth',                'true');  
props.setProperty('mail.smtp.starttls.enable',     'true');  
props.setProperty('mail.smtp.socketFactory.port',  port);
props.setProperty('mail.smtp.socketFactory.class', 'javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory');
sendmail(emailto , subject, text);

It gives this error:

Error using sendmail (line 172)
Could not connect to SMTP host: smtp.office365.com, port: 587;
Connection refused: connect

Note that with the same code I have managed to send an email using a gmail account (using server:smtp.gmail.com and port:465)

Is it something I can fix via matlab or is it an office365 specific problem ?

matlab version: Matlab R2013b

My solution was this line:

props.setProperty('mail.smtp.auth', 'false');
