Has Gmail just dropped the option to send mail through your own SMTP servers?

Has Gmail just dropped the option to send mail through your own SMTP servers?

On my current gmail account, I have added an other email account I own to
send email though my own smtp servers. This is easy to do in Settings >
Accounts > Add another email address you own, in two steps:

But I have just opened a new gmail account, and I can't do the same. I can
only send "on behalf of" somebody else, but I can't add my own SMTP
servers, because the button Next step of the first form has vanished...

Did I miss something or did google really drop the support for external
SMTP servers?
(Sorry for the links to the pictures, I do not have enough reputation to
post the images directly. Can somebody do this for me?)
