Description
SmtpMailService.java hardcodes mail.smtp.auth to "true", while mail.smtp.username / mail.smtp.password are empty in application-dev.properties. Every sign-up attempts to authenticate to smarthost.kit.edu with an empty password and fails immediately with:
jakarta.mail.AuthenticationFailedException: failed to connect, no password specified?
The GlobalExceptionHandlerController's generic RuntimeException handler swallows the real error and returns an empty-message 500 to the client, making this hard to diagnose without server-side logs.
