Exactly: we can only know if a var like smtpmail-use-auth tells us.

AFAICT, the main drive (in this discussion) to introduce
field-encryption within the unencrypted .netrc file is to avoid
introducing a smtpmail-use-auth customization.
And my point is that this customization is a necessary thing anyway.
Maybe there are still other cases where field-encryption in the
unencrypted file is worthwhile (I don't know of any), but that's
a separate discussion.
So can we add this smtpmail-use-auth, make smtpmail.el use opportunistic
STARTTLS and move on?
