Thanks guys, I've got it, I've built it and I've installed it :-)

At one in the morning, with matchsticks for eyelid props, it didn't
occur to me to do what now seems so obvious.

And it works... almost :-/

I believe my problem is no longer an authentication one so that's one
hurdle down.

Here's the (-v -v) log report:

The same thing happened with and without Gnus running so it's not a
conflict of clients.
