I think it would be nice to find an auth-source based solution for the
multiple-account smtpmail case.  Which shouldn't be difficult, I think.
How about just adding a `smtpmail-user' variable, that when bound or set
would make smtpmail.el feed that user name to auth-source, and then get
the correct credentials?

`smtpmail-user' would be set from `message-send-hook' or the like, of
course.
