I use the following replacement for the standard twisted sendmail function:

from twisted.mail import smtp
from twisted.internet import reactor
from twisted.internet import defer

try:
    from cStringIO import StringIO
except ImportError:
    from StringIO import StringIO

def sendmail_auth(smtphost, user, password,
                 from_addr, to_addrs, msg, senderDomainName=None, port=25):
    if not hasattr(msg,'read'):
        msg = StringIO(str(msg))
    d = defer.Deferred()
    factory = smtp.ESMTPSenderFactory(user, password, from_addr, to_addrs, msg, d,
                                      requireTransportSecurity=False)
    if senderDomainName is not None:
        factory.domain = senderDomainName
    reactor.connectTCP(smtphost, port, factory)
    return d

(nothing wise, just copied original and changed to ESMTPSenderFactory). Maybe it would make sense to add something like that to twisted.
