Mention smtp+starttls not only in the config cheat sheet (#247)

Browse Source 
I almost entered STARTTLS under PROTOCOLS, better to mention the correct solution without needing to check the config cheat sheet.

Authentication is only supported when the SMTP server communication is encrypted with TLS or `HOST=localhost`. TLS encryption can be through:
:::
- STARTTLS (also known as Opportunistic TLS) via port 587. Initial connection is done over cleartext, but then be upgraded over TLS if the server supports it.
- STARTTLS (also known as Opportunistic TLS) via port 587 with `PROTOCOL=smtp+starttls`. Initial connection is done over cleartext, but then be upgraded over TLS if the server supports it.
- SMTPS connection (SMTP over TLS) via the default port 465. Connection to the server use TLS from the beginning.
- Forced SMTPS connection with `PROTOCOL=smtps`. (These are both known as Implicit TLS.)
This is due to protections imposed by the Go internal libraries against STRIPTLS attacks.
