ok I'm going to downgrade what I said to 'it works fine with gmail' -
it just doesnt do starttls, your code does.

git-send-email --from 'brian.ewins@gmail.com' --to
'brian.ewins@gmail.com' --smtp-server smtp.gmail.com  --smtp-user
'brian.ewins@gmail.com' --smtp-pass 'secret' --smtp-ssl

That's using SSL on port 465, not TLS. Did this not work for you? I
thought Net::SMTP passed its constructor options to IO::Socket, but
no. An alternate way of getting starttls to work, without using
Net::SMTP::TLS, is this:

#connect with Net::SMTP - not ::SSL or the connect will fail
$smtp = Net::SMTP->new('smtp.gmail.com',
                                 Port => 587,
                                 Debug => 1) or die "Could not connect
to server\n";
#issue the starttls command, assuming user asked for this
$smtp->command('STARTTLS');
$smtp->response();
#if server says 220, then go ahead and convert the socket. Bless as
Net::SMTP::SSL
# - necessary to inherit both IO::Socket::SSL and Net::SMTP
#start_SSL has been renamed, twice. Nice stable api :)
#extra args for checking server cert etc can be passed to start_SSL.
$smtp->code() == 220 and $smtp = Net::SMTP::SSL->start_SSL($smtp) or
die "STARTTLS failed! ".$smtp->message;
# say hello again to get server features (including auth)
$smtp->hello();
# now continue as before, with $smtp->auth()...
