Hm... but we still have to set what the smtp host is somewhere? Or
were you thinking that smtpmail could just ask auth-source for "give me
an smtp host from your backends", which would, for most people, be a
line from their ~/.authinfo file saying
machine smtp.gmail.com port smtp
?
That would work... hm...

Yeah, auth-source could be querying the user about this stuff the first
time it runs. (And it could determine whether it's the first time just
by trying all the sources, and see whether any of them exist?)
