I have no idea how/why you are using Gmail's SMTP server since it  
isn't configured correctly in IMP (not only is smtphost and smtpport  
commented out, those options no longer exist).

You'll probably have to look directly at the code in PEAR's Net_SMTP  
to determine what authentication information it is sending to the SMTP  
server (if you do not have access to the SMTP server itself).  I just  
added SMTP debugging to IMP 6.1.0, but that would still not be useful  
for you since Net_SMTP's debug output does not debug any details about  
the authentication commands anyway.

I can verify that SMTP authentication works fine for me.  E.g. using  
SMTP auth=true with my local SMTP server (which uses the same  
username/password as the IMAP server), I see the following:

Feb 23 21:58:56 bigworm.curecanti.org postfix/smtpd[3075]: connect  
from localhost.localdomain[127.0.0.1]
Feb 23 21:58:56 bigworm.curecanti.org postfix/smtpd[3075]: 2AB896A07E:  
client=localhost.localdomain[127.0.0.1], sasl_method=LOGIN,  
sasl_username=slusarz
