Perfect: .authinfo.gpg works for me.  I'm not sure how I was supposed to
know this.  It's not mentioned in NEWS, and it's not mentioned in the
manual for smtpmail-auth-credentials either.

By the way, I recognize the unmistakable writing style of the
auth-sources manual.  Very good reading. :-)

This issue can be considered resolved pending any updates to
documentation or pointers to appropriate documentation in the NEWS file,
which only mentions .authinfo.
