I just noticed something different. I'm connecting to smtp.googlemail.com, but you're using gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com. Per is using 173.194.79.27 which is different again. How are these different from the smtp.googlemail.com that I use? I get the same results if I use smtp.gmail.com. You are trying to submit a mail from your google account, I'm trying to send a mail to my google address. I used '173.194.79.27' because Google didn't want to receive mail from my IPv6 without reverse mapping (very sensibly) and telnet didn't accept my '-4' option. (old telnet).
I just tried sending using my Rogers address and I get the same thing, I have to use STARTTLS. This makes me wonder if there is a difference in the servers specified for users and the ones listed in the MX record.
There is, yes. Not by convention or design, but often/generally yes. For instance, my customers (those that have outbound filtering) use 'outbound.example.com' for sending mails, for receving mails they use MX = 'inbound.example.com'.
Do you get the same if you use smtp.gmail.com or smtp.googlemail.com?
I am sure I wouldn't. Those are almost certainly for user mail submission, and will therefore require authentication.
