This seems to be unrelated to emacsbug. The same would happen with any mail.

Okay, but authinfo is the mechanism by which the smtp user is specified.
So if you choose not to use that, you... don't get to specify the smtp
user. This doesn't seem like an "error sending bug report"; rather it
seems a low priority wishlist request to tweak the default SMTP user
name used when there is no authinfo (for most people, this will only
happen once, the first time).
