[msmtp-users] Why msmtp in trouble when Gmail set to "Disable access for less secure apps"?

Google accounts like Gmail have an option to disable access for less secure apps.

When I selected this msmtp wouldn't work anymore.  Any idea why?

I thought it was because I wasn't using SSL but even with following lines
in my msmtprc file still doesn't work!??...

host           smtp.gmail.com
port           587
auth           on
tls            on
tls_starttls   on
tls_trust_file /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt

Doesn't that mean I'm using SSL?  Why would Google still not be happy?
