Solved. I had to change entries in /etc/email-addresses from [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Mozilla mail can still send emails using
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Mozilla Thunderbird cannot and needs to use
[EMAIL PROTECTED] like exim. What is the difference between the way
mozilla mail does SMTP authentication and mozilla-thunderbird or exim?
