  I'm not sure if this is how to do it with 'smtpmail-auth-credentials'
 but this is how I do it with 'smtpmail-starttls-credentials'.

(setq smtpmail-auth-credentials '(("smtp.gmail.com" 587 nil nil)))

  But since your using smtp.gmail.com, you should do something like this:

(setq smtpmail-starttls-credentials '(("smtp.gmail.com" 25 nil nil)))

-- .authinfo

machine smtp.gmail.com
        login YOUR_USER_NAME
        password YOUR_PASSWORD
        force yes

  Hope it helps :-)
