It looks that SMTP connection configuration in Roundcube is not as simple as it could be. Can we make it more straightforward?

I propose to:

1. Remove smtp_user and smtp_pass options and act as they would be set

to %u and %p accordingly. Their modification could still be possible via plugin API.

2. Set the default smtp_port to 587.

I prefer not to change current smtp connection configurations, it’s flexible and already simple enough.

For newly built mail servers, SMTP auth (with end user’s user/pass) and secure connection are required, but there’re few companies which have to use a hard-coded smtp user/pass for all outgoing emails (historical reason).
