Did you follow the instructions?

Post your setup.  You don't need the full setup if you only expect to
send mail from your Gmail account.  Just the following lines.

(setq message-send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it)
(setq smtpmail-starttls-credentials '(("smtp.gmail.com" 587 nil nil)))
(setq smtpmail-auth-credentials '(("smtp.gmail.com" 587 "joeuser" nil)))
(setq smtpmail-default-smtp-server "smtp.gmail.com")
(setq smtpmail-smtp-server "smtp.gmail.com")
(setq smtpmail-smtp-service 587))

If it's still not working, make sure starttls.el can find the
necessary software.  The following:

(executable-find starttls-program)

should return something other than nil.  If not, adjust the value of
starttls-program accordingly with customize-variable.
