Summary: Error: 'ascii' codec can't encode character '\xc4' when using special-character in EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD → Using non-ASCII chars in EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD raises UnicodeEncodeError.

Thanks for this report, however Django passes passwords directly to the ​SMTP/SMTP_SSL.login(). It's an issue in smtplib not in Django, see ​https://bugs.python.org/issue29750.
