I do not know, sorry.  I am running out of CVS:

nibbler; emacs --version

I can tell you this, at least:
nibbler; CVS status lisp/mail/smtpmail.el
===================================================================
File: smtpmail.el       Status: Up-to-date

   Working revision:    1.72
   Repository revision: 1.72    /cvsroot/emacs/emacs/lisp/mail/smtpmail.el,v
   Sticky Tag:          (none)
   Sticky Date:         (none)
   Sticky Options:      (none)


And that Simon Josefsson made the mods to support AUTH and TLS:
Modified by Simon Josefsson <jas@pdc.kth.se>, 22/2/99, to support SMTP
Authentication by the AUTH mechanism.  See
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2554.txt

Modified by Simon Josefsson <simon@josefsson.org>, 2000-10-07, to
support STARTTLS.  Requires external program
ftp://ftp.opaopa.org/pub/elisp/starttls-*.tar.gz.  See
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2246.txt,
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2487.txt

Hope this helps.
