As all $x_i\ge 0$ so by multinomial expansion it is false .

Just genaralize #5 to get the result
$(x_1^{m+1}+x_2^{m+1}+\cdots +x_n^{m+1})^{\frac{1}{m^2-m}}(x_1+x_2+\cdots +x_n)^{\frac{m^2-m-1}{m^2-m}}$ $\ge x_1^{\frac{m+1}{m^2-m}+\frac{m^2-m-1}{m^2-m}}+x_2^{\frac{m^2}{m^2-m}}+\cdots +x_n^{\frac{m2}{m^2-m}}$ $~~=(x_1^{\frac{m}{m-1}}+x_2^{\frac{m}{m-1}}+\cdots +x_n^{\frac{m}{m-1}})$ Now, $S_{m+1}S_1^{m^2-m-1}\ge (x_1^{\frac{m}{m-1}}+x_2^{\frac{m}{m-1}}+\cdots +x_n^{\frac{m}{m-1}})^{m^2-m}=((x_1^{\frac{m}{m-1}}+x_2^{\frac{m}{m-1}}+\cdots +x_n^{\frac{m}{m-1}})^{m-1})^m$
Now we need $(x_1^{\frac{m}{m-1}}+x_2^{\frac{m}{m-1}}+\cdots +x_n^{\frac{m}{m-1}})\ge (x_1^m+x_2^m+\cdots +x_n^m)^{\frac{1}{m-1}}$
which is true by multinomial expansion ( $x_i\ge 0 ,\forall i\in \{1,2,\cdots ,n\}$ )
Hence, $S_{m+1}S_1^{m^2-m-1}\ge (x_1^m+x_2^m+\cdots +x_n^m)^m=S_m^m$
