How about providing an option for passwords?  E.g.,

 (home-git-configuration
   (user (git-user-info
           (name "Foobar")
           (e-mail "Foobar <foo@bar.com>")
           (signing-key "some PGP fingerprint)))
   (secrets-file "/home/foo/the-password")
   (smtp (git-smtp-configuration
           #;(password "12345") ; not recommended, use 'secrets-file' instead
           ...))

(with some appropriate documentation)

secrets-file (not interned in the store):
  
  # I don't remember the exact option name
  smtp.password = Foobaz

the produced .gitconfig would include a line

  [include]
    path = /home/foo/the-password
