Hi, and welcome again... ;)
By the way... error messages are really in Italian? You ha the 
possibility to switch all interface and also error messages in English!

Anyway, after a quick investigation:
You're not doing anything wrong.
The two errors are different problems.

483 *SSL/TLS box unticked*
This is not a login failure. On port 119 the connection isn't 
encrypted, so NeReO refuses to put your password on the network in the 
clear. It's a deliberate safety rule. Ticking the SSL/TLS box is 
exactly the right response.

481 (SSL/TLS box ticked)
Now the connection really is encrypted — the port switches to 563 
automatically — and your username and password do reach the server. 481 
means the server rejected them.

*So the app is working in both cases*.
What's failing is the username or password as the server sees it.
And since the same Solani account has worked in Piao Hong for years, 
the account itself is almost certainly fine.
Which points at: how the text is being typed on the phone.

Worth checking, in this order:
Username, not e-mail address — Eternal September wants the name you 
chose when you registered.
Capitalisation — Android keyboards often capitalise the first letter on 
their own. Type it, then look at it.
Trailing space — pasting from a password manager very often adds one, 
and the server counts it.
So try Retyping the password by hand once, instead of pasting it.

One thing that is on us: "Choose from a known server" fills in port 119 
with SSL off, even for servers that need an account. That's why you hit 
483 on the very first try, before anything of yours was wrong. Noted.

If it still fails, *please send the NNTP log* (Maintenance → NNTP log). 
It shows the exact exchange with the password blanked out, and it will 
tell us in one line whether your username left the phone in the shape 
you expected.

You can copy it directly here or, id You prefer, contact me by mail. My 
mail si "despammed" but it works!
