As suggested by you, I deleted kmailrc and setup my sending and receiving accounts via the wizard that pops up for the first time.  Sending via SMTP then worked.  "Sending" showed two identically named entries, both having type "SMTP (Default)".  I deleted one and SMTP continued to work; the dialog box now shows only one entry but kmailrc shows identical [Transport 1] and [Transport 2].

I then tested as follows: I deleted kmailrc once more and canceled the wizard, and configured KMail using "Configure KMail".  This time sending via SMTP failed.

After getting SMTP to work by configuring using the wizard, within KMail when I edited the name given to the SMTP-related entry using "Configure KMail", sending failed.  Examination of kmailrc showed "current-transport" [Composer] and "default-transport" [Composer] contained the default name that was assigned to it by the wizard, whereas under [Transport 1] "name" was updated; exiting KMail and editing kmailrc and changing "current-transport" and "default-transport" to be consistent with "name" couldn't get SMTP working.

To change the name, what worked was follows: after setting up a working SMTP using the wizard, the name change was accomplished by exiting KMail and editing kmailrc and changing "name", "current-transport" and "default-transport" to the desired new name.
