"Is this something the end-user would type verbatim?" is the criteria,
not "Is this a command name?".

Your examples that show that smtpAuth can take these different
values are certainly good.  As we know what these two services
support, it is worth saying, no?  Unless it is like Gmail supports
both but git-send-email for whatever reason can use only one of them
to talk to Gmail, that is.
