I don't think it can be the envelope from-header because SMTP
conversation doesn't even get that far:

 220 mail.gmx.net GMX Mailservices ESMTP {mp031}
 250-mail.gmx.net GMX Mailservices
 250-8BITMIME
 250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES
 250-SIZE
 250-AUTH=LOGIN CRAM-MD5 PLAIN
 250-AUTH CRAM-MD5 LOGIN PLAIN
 250 STARTTLS
 550 5.7.0 Need to authenticate via SMTP-AUTH-Login {mp031}
 221 2.0.0 GMX Mailservices {mp031}
 smtpmail-send-it: Sending failed; SMTP protocol error

I'm afraid I don't know why it's failing at this stage, but I can clear
up one thinko... by using smtpmail you are talking directly with gmx's
SMTP servers, so yes, you _are_ bypassing the local MTA (Exim).
