Thanks; this was fixed in Emacs 27 earlier this year, so this will work
in the next release:

commit 655fe3fe0de92ace4a97dd3c478c3683b163e132
Author: Lars Ingebrigtsen <larsi@gnus.org>

    Fix long credentials when using auth in url.el
    
    * lisp/url/url-auth.el (url-basic-auth): When base64-ing
    credentials, don't let bsae64-encode-string split the result into
    several lines, because servers do not understand that (bug#36619).
