After trying to implement SMTPS with asyncore and wrap_socket I agree with 
David that it is at least hard: somehow the handshake fails 
(ssl.SSLWantReadError) and I did not really figure out why. Looking at the 
debugging output of openssl indicates that the connection drops immediately 
after setting up the session on the client side.

Anyway: I think we should apply a better version of my patch (will submit one 
soon) to be able to test smtplib (and also fix issue 8503). I'm going to make 
it clear that the AUTH functionality should only be used for testing or in 
combination with an encrypted tunnel.
