I'm not really an expert, but this works for me:

(setq smtpmail-smtp-server "smtp.gmail.com")
(setq smtpmail-starttls-credentials
     '(("smtp.gmail.com" 587 nil nil)))
(setq smtpmail-smtp-service 587)
(setq smtpmail-auth-credentials
      "~/.authinfo")


and in authinfo:

machine smtp.gmail.com login thename@gmail.com password ALMOSTGOTME port 587

Hope this helps

Sebastian
