If that (-15) is an error message associated
with the protocols (be it SMTP or SSL/TLS) it
should be in the RFCs.
But it sounds more like something out of the
implementation (gnutls.c) so check out the
documentation for that or even the source
depending on how curious you are.
You can also turn to the Gnus groups, be it
gmane.emacs.gnus.general or
gmane.emacs.gnus.user where there are more
Gnusers per capita than here.
BTW, "An unexpected TLS packet was received" -
sounds like the opening shots of a great
sf/thriller :)

in ~/.authinfo, put
machine SMTP-SERVER login LOGIN port PORT password PASSWORD
and that should be enough.
The significance of the port could vary from
server to server, however it more often than
not it is
25 SMTP (plain)
465 SSL/TLS
587 starttls
I see you use 25 - but perhaps that's
a VPN thing?
Hint: come up with something else than ">" to
denote quotes from other sources than
what has been previously said in the
thread, where it isn't a quote anymore,
but a "citation" :)
Hint 2: Nowadays it is Gnus, not "GNUS" :)
