I assumed someone had, but if not I can take a stab at it. I'm not sure however how should I map server, server-port, and user to credential key-value pairs. I'm leaning towards

	protocol=smtp
	host=<smtp-server>:<smtp-port>
	user=<user>

and than netrc/authinfo helper splitting host to host name and port number, unless port is not in host in which case protocol is assumed as port.
