You shouldn't need a password for SMTP through your ISP, since you should 
already be connected as you, and the port is likely to be 25, which KMail 
offers as default.  And for the security settings you can either leave the 
default or ask KMail to check what the server supports.  (This option is 
offered.)

The details (because you will need the mailserver address) should be on your 
ISP's website.

You should also have been given all the details when you first subscribed to 
your ISP.

Have you given up on using GMail?
