Have you read the smtpmail manual and followed its advice?  It's
accessible with `C-h i d m smtp RET'.

With Gnus you basically need to set `message-send-mail-function' and
`smtpmail-smtp-server' for making basic sending of mail work.  For
authentication you just need to specify machine, login and password in
~/.authinfo, which `smtpmail-auth-credentials' points to per default.
For the syntax of entries in the file see `man netrc'.  If you want to
use starttls with SMTP, set `smtpmail-starttls-credentials'
accordingly.
