Your SMTP server requires a user name and password to send email, I take
it?

I don't think the bit before the "@" sign in the From header is any more
likely to be the user name you have to give to the SMTP server than
(user-login-name) is.
Emacs just guesses here, and I think (user-login-name) is a perfectly
valid guess. So I'm closing this bug report.
