I had loads of trouble getting it work with gmail too.

Did you install gnutls-bin?

Here is my setup:

In my .gnus.el :

,----
| (setq message-send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it)
| (setq smtpmail-default-smtp-server "smtp.gmail.com")
| (setq smtpmail-smtp-server "smtp.gmail.com")
| (setq smtpmail-smtp-service 587)
`----

In  my "personal.el"


,----
| (defun fs-change-smtp ()
|   "Change the SMTP server according to the current from line."
|   (setq smtpmail-starttls-credentials '(("smtp.gmail.com" 587 nil nil)))
|   (setq message-send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it)
|   (save-excursion
|     (let ((from
|            (save-restriction
|              (message-narrow-to-headers)
|              (message-fetch-field "from"))))
|       (message "From is `%s', setting `smtpmail-smtp-server' to `%s'"
|                from
|                (cond
|                  ((string-match "hadron.*" from)
|  		 (setq smtpmail-auth-credentials '(("smtp.gmail.com" 587
|   "hadronquark" "password"))))
| ;;*snip*
| 		(t
| 		 (error 
| 		  (concat "Don't know which mail server to use for "
| 			  from)))))))
| )
| 
| (add-hook 'message-setup-hook 'fs-change-smtp)
