branch: master
commit 2385bf3397f8a92e226a29a5050c69dd8d2a1c31

    Treat smtp-auth method from auth-info as a symbol
    
    The lookup of the SMTP auth method is done based on symbols, but
    sometimes the requested value comes from `auth-info', in which case it
    is a string, so call `intern-soft' to convert it to a symbol (which
    does nothing if it's already a symbol).
    
    * lisp/mail/smtpmail.el (smtpmail-try-auth-methods): Call
    `intern-soft' on the smtp-auth key's value.  (Bug#57373)
