I resolved updating the connection settings. Go to Settings > Configure Kmail >
Sending tab [1] > Select your Gmail account, then Modify.

General tab:
- Outgoing email: smtp.gmail.com
- Activate "The server requires authentication"
- Username: your email address
- Password: leave it empty
- Save SMTP password: unchecked

Advanced tab:
- Cipher: STARTTLS
- Port: 587
- Authentication: XOAUTH2
Leave all other fields empty and the checkboxes deactivated.

With these settings my Kmail works as expected when sending emails.

[1] I use Kmail in Italian, so I don't know the exact strings used.
