(info "(smtpmail) Authentication") was probably what was meant, but even there, choosing the stream type seems to require such a tweak as yours. But there seems to be a better way; see: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/tree/lisp/gnus/message.el#n5027 Basically if you name the function as message-send-mail-with-<name>, you should be able to directly call it from X-Message-SMTP-Method. --
