The page now read:

     ;; Authenticate using this username and password against my server.
     (setq smtpmail-auth-credentials
           '(("HOSTNAME" "PORT" "USERNAME" "PASSWORD")))

     ;; Note that if PORT is an integer, you must not quote it as a
     ;; string.  Normally PORT should be the integer 25, and the example
     ;; become:
     (setq smtpmail-auth-credentials
           '(("HOSTNAME" 25 "USERNAME" "PASSWORD")))

     ;; Use STARTTLS without authentication against the server.
     (setq smtpmail-starttls-credentials
           '(("HOSTNAME" "PORT" nil nil)))

Thanks.
