FWIW, I was tripped by this as well, back when I started using
smtpmail.  The documentation should be clearer on the type of the
value, IMHO: it currently could be interpreted as if "25" is allowed,
and will be magically converted to a number:

      The variable `smtpmail-smtp-service' controls the port on the
    server to contact.  It is either a string, in which case it will be
    translated into an integer using system calls, or an integer.
