I am also having problems with sending out mail from KMail 3.2 beta. When I try to send mail out, I get this error:

I did run Check What the Server Supports. Basically, it didn't pick up any of the security options, but this is the same behavior as in KDE 3.1.4.

It also didn't help my problem.

When I first emerged kde 3.2.0-beta1 on my test box, I had the same problem. As I recall, I think I fixed it by removing and re-entering my identies and/or network info, and exiting kmail, then reopening kmail.Then it begin sending mail as normal. Don't forget to delete any failed queued messages you tried to send, or they will block sending until they are removed.

I'm not sure if this is related but i had smtp problems as well with kde 3.2 beta1 (bare lf error from qmail while sending via smtp). I solved them by unmerging the old version(s) of kde and remerging kdepim (kmail has moved from kdenetwork). According to http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=64559 there are known problems with the interaction between kmail from 3.2 and kio_smtp from 3.1

maybe that helps...

As it turns out, that actually was the issue. In KDE 3.1.4, if your server didn't support SMTP authentication, but you had it checked, that was ignored. In KDE 3.2, it gives you an error message that could be better worded.
