Thunderbird problem

For some time now (like months!) I have been intermittently unable to send messages using Mozilla Thunderbird. When I try to send, I get asked for a password which it then refuses to recognise (yes, I have checked it's correct - even re-set it!).

I then get a message box titled:
'Mail Server Password Required'

which states that:
'The message could not be sent because connecting to SMTP server mail.btinternet.com failed. The server may be unavailable or is refusing SMTP connections. Please verifythat your SMTP server setting is correct and try again, or else contact your administrator'.
Some days it's OK but then it'll come up with this request for one or two days, then it'll suddenly recgnise the password or not even ask for it. Generally it seems to be getting worse.

Any ideas, folks?
