No. @var and @code are mutually exclusive (each one specifies a
different typeface), so the above will not do what you want. And
@samp already specifies the same typeface as @code anyway.
If I understand what you want, I would say something like this:
The variable @code{smtpmail-debug-info} controls whether to print the
SMTP protocol exchange in the minibuffer, and retain the entire exchange
in a buffer @samp{*trace of SMTP session to @var{server}*} (where
@var{server} is the value of the variable @code{smtpmail-smtp-server}).
