Outlook isn't smart enough to trim the password field.

On the other hand, there is no error from courier.

So is it a courier problem in that it doesn't log the error? Or is it the extra newline that's throwing outlook off?

Outlook is probably inserting an extra linefeed to the end of the PASS command. Courier reads the first linefeed and processes it as the end of line. The PASS command is processed as valid, and the server logs in.

Then, it reads the second newline, the real one, and reports an -ERR to Outlook, which likely makes it lose its mind.
