Of course it worked. The gmail relay doesn't require you to provide a
client side SSL certificate. So it was ignored.


Are you saying that TLS encryption works fine without a client-side SSL
certificate?


Yes.

The client side rarely uses an SSL certificate, especially in cases like
using an SMTP server/relay. SSL or TLS doesn't matter either. TLS is
just SSL but starting the SSL handshake later in the communications.

The only time I've personally seen a client side certificate used is with
web services when the server requires the use of a client side SSL
certificate.
