Chevereto email settings don't work with internal mail servers using IP authentication (easy fix)

Chevereto email settings don't support internal mail servers using IP authentication instead of Username authentication. This is an easy fix, since PHPMailer supports these configurations.

Docket: N/A.

▶ Reproduction steps
  1. Go to Dashboard -> Settings -> Email, enter in email mode SMTP, server and ports as needed. Try and leave SMTP username blank. You can't.
  2. Problem: Some mail is passed through intranets (192.168.x.x addresses) with IP address authentication to authenticate sites (and for a variety of reasons, does not want to turn auth authentication on). Instead of asking whether or not username authentication is on, Chevereto assumes it. The problem is (a) lack of a choice/setting in the dashboard, and (b) the hardcoding of '$mail->SMTPAuth = true;' in /app/lib/functions.php and in /app/routes/dashboard.php.
  3. An old post about it, and a very temporary fix is noted in this thread: https://chevereto.com/community/threads/allow-smtp-without-credentials.10993/
  4. With the temp fix, email works either way with TLS turned on or off.
  5. Solution: Add a setting in the dashboard to allow Authentication to be turned off, and if off, set '$mail->SMTPAuth = false;'
😢 Unexpected result

Email Account Auth Failed. Can't send mail or even update settings on the page.
