It should Just Work; you're never hitting the GnuTLS code and
`smtpmail-send-it' is trying to use just the "gnutls-cli" command-line
utility.  `smtpmail-send-it' needs to be configured or fixed in code
(probably the former).

For me, I just

(setq smtpmail-starttls-credentials '(("mysmtpserver.com" 587 nil nil)))

and then put this line:

machine mysmtpserver.com login tzz password mypassword

in my ~/.authinfo.gpg.  But my configuration has many layers so the
above may need to be modified a bit and you need to dig into it or
submit a bug if it still fails.
