I encountered the same trouble, too. 

In the cause, the behavior of gnutls-cli is of change according to the
value of process-connection-type:

(let ((process-connection-type t))
  (start-process "test" (current-buffer) "gnutls-cli" "-s" "-p" "587" "smtp.gmail.com"))

	Resolving 'smtp.gmail.com'...
	Connecting to '64.233.185.109:587'...
	
	- Simple Client Mode:
	
	220 mx.gmail.com ESMTP d61sm300512wra
	
(let ((process-connection-type nil))
  (start-process "test" (current-buffer) "gnutls-cli" "-s" "-p" "587" "smtp.gmail.com"))

	220 mx.gmail.com ESMTP 33sm823777wra

Since default value of starttls-process-connection-type is nil,
starttls-connect regexp in starttls-open-stream-gnutls() does not
match.  So emacs hangs.  Gnutls version which I use is:

% gnutls-cli --version
GNU TLS test client, version 1.2.4. Libgnutls 1.2.4.
