The latest smtpmail should support the ~/.authinfo file. Make
sure the value for the `smtpmail-auth-credentials' variable is
"~/.authinfo" after loading smtpmail.elc.

It seems no problem except for `pasword'. It's a typo of
`password', isn't it? ;-) By the way, is `timmcn@bitstream.net'
a valid login name? It might have to be a shell login name.

smtpmail.el mentions another usage of `smtpmail-auth-credentials'.
For example:
(setq smtpmail-auth-credentials
'(("smtp.iphouse.com" 25 "timmcn@bitstream.net" "xxxxxxxx")))
