No matter what I do with it, Gnus will send mail by calling sendmail
binary, not with smtpmail. :-(

You have right Kai! Even to me (no habla LISP) is obvious, I must
replace only SMTP commands HELO/EHLO, and some minor changes must be
done. For STARTTLS (RFC 2487), ssl.el will be relative easy to
implement (on the first look). But for a start I must make smtpmail.el
to work with Gnus...

I Tryed this: 

(setq send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it)
(setq smtpmail-default-smtp-server "anthea")
(setq smtpmail-smtp-service "smtp") ;; default port 25
(setq smtpmail-local-domain "mydomain.dom")
(setq smtpmail-debug-info t) ;; for a start
(load-library "smtpmail")
(setq smtpmail-code-conv-from nil)
;;(setq user-full-name "YOUR NAME HERE")

...and I have removed this:

(setq gnus-agent-send-mail-function message-send-mail-function)

Then I restart XEmacs, but everything is the same, except that mail is
queue'ed in Gnus, and when I toggle pluged mode with J-j and send mail
with J-S,  smtpmail is not used... :-(
