I don't get it, from the point of view of smtp, there is just a user
and password, so just use the +arch one as user.

About the password, where do you want to store it ? If you don't want
to store it, you don't have to.

       auth [(on|off|method)]
              This command enables or disables SMTP authentication. You should
              not need to set the method yourself; with the argument on, msmtp
              will choose the best one available for you (see below).
              You  probably  need  to  set a username (with user) and password
              (with password).  If no password is set but one is needed during
              authentication,  msmtp  will try to find it in ~/.netrc. If that
              fails, it will try to find it in SYSCONFDIR/netrc (use --version
              to find out what SYSCONFDIR is on your platform). If that fails,
              it will try to get it from a system specific keychain (if avail‐
              able).  If  that  fails but a controlling terminal is available,
              msmtp will prompt you for it.
              Currently supported keychains are the GNOME keychain and the Mac
              OS X keychain.  See the EXAMPLES section below.

Can you show us how exactly you configured git smtp client and/or
other smtp clients you tried ?
