Okay

I do not think this line is necessary since the user does not need to
do anything. It is enabled by default

This is Okay without the 'Next' after the first paragraph is removed.
Then we could add the text below
"To configure Mutt to send patches through Gmail, scroll down to the
MUTT (TUI) section of the page
<Email clients info for Linux >
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/email-clients.html
and follow the configuration steps shown.

Then, in the "Note" section of the  <configure esmtp> section, we
should also indicate in another paragraph
that if they have followed the link in the <Set up Gmail> section
above to configure mutt to send patches
via Gmail, they should skip that section to avoid conflicting configurations.

Yes, then you can add your previous esmpt commands to point send mail
and test esmtp after the esmtp
configuration since your configuration and the one in the
documentation are the same.
