Windows or Unix? On Windows you can set the port by setting smtp_port in
php.ini. Unix doesn't appear to have a direct equivalent, but you might be
able to do something with sendmail_path?

As for SMTP authentication, when I wanted to do this on Windows I went for
phpmailer
http://phpmailer.sourceforge.net/

Hope this is of some help
