You can also read and write to this list via Gmane, either as a
newsgroup or with a web browser; go to gmane.org for details.

I have a similar or perhaps the same problem.  I use the same type of
settings as you do.  How long did you wait after Emacs "froze up".  In
my case, it "unfreezes" after 20 minutes and the SMTP trace buffer shows
this:

Process SMTP finished
454 TLS connection failed: timed out (#4.3.0) 
- Peer has closed the GNUTLS connection
QUIT 

This is reproducible.  I can access the same SMTP server using KMail, so
I assume, like you, that my problem is somewhere in smtpmail.el or
gnutls-cli (I don't have starttls), perhaps a wrong setting.  It would
be nice if someone can solve this one; I haven't been able to.
