What's the exact error message?

And can you reproduce this starting with 'emacs -Q'?  If not, then there 
might be something in your .emacs or X initialization files that are 
making emacs think it should try to connect to the desktop.

It looks like you're using at least one obsolete variable.  I suggest 
you start by reading the emacs documentation on smtpmail, especially the 
section on authentication.  I glanced at it and noticed the following: 
"Either or both of the login and password fields may be absent, in which 
case Emacs prompts for the information when you try to send mail.  (This 
replaces the old `smtpmail-auth-credentials' variable used prior to 
Emacs 24.1.)"
