Summary:

  Question: A mail cannot be sent with `No SMTP AUTH available!'.  Why?

  Answer: Don't set mew-smtp-user to non-nil if your SMTP server doesn't
  	  support SMTP AUTH.

See below a sample of ~/.mew.el:

;; Set "smtp-user" to nil (default value) for "default", and set
;; "smtp-user" to the username for "gmail".
(setq mew-config-alist
      '(("default"
	 ("name" . "YOUR NAME")
	 ("user" . "XXX")
	 ("mail-domain" . "EXAMPLE.jp")
	 ("smtp-server" . "smtp.EXAMPLE.jp")
	 ("smtp-user" . nil)
	 ("pop-server" . "pop.EXAMPLE.jp")
	 ("pop-user" . "XXX")
	 ("pop-auth" . apop)
	 ;;
	 )
	("gmail"
	 ("name" . "YOUR NAME")
	 ("user" . "XXX")
	 ("mail-domain" . "gmail.com")
	 ("smtp-ssl" . t)
	 ("smtp-server" . "smtp.gmail.com")
	 ("smtp-user" . "XXX at example.com")
	 ("pop-ssl" . t)
	 ("pop-server" . "pop.gmail.com")
	 ("pop-user" . "XXX at example.com")
	 ("pop-auth" . pass)
	 ;;
	 )
	;;
	))
;;(setq mew-prog-ssl "/usr/sbin/stunnel")
;;(setq mew-ssl-cert-directory "/etc/ssl/certs") ;; default value is "~/.certs"
;;(setq mew-ssl-verify-level 0) ;; no-verification, unrecommended
;;(setq mew-ssl-verify-level 2) ;; verify certificates
