This is expected because aerc.smtpAuth is an option specific to aerc and the aerc home-manager module. For thunderbird specific options see accounts.email.accounts.<name>.thunderbird.*.

Ahh, but then how do I set the autentication? I don't see many options..

You sadly can't do so declaratively, but Thunderbird prompts you for passwords if it needs one. They can then optionally be persisted in Thunderbirds internal password store.

If you find a preference that could be set to make this more declarative, let us know.
