Please note that if your client doesn't support SMTP authentication, you won't be able to send mail through your client using your Google Apps Mail address.
Also, if you're having trouble sending mail but you've confirmed that encryption is active for SMTP in your mail client, try to configure your SMTP server on a different port: 465 or 587.
