This worked great for fastmail.com STMP. My tls config didn't require the insecure verify as well:
// TLS config
tlsconfig := &tls.Config{
ServerName: host,
}
In case someone finds it useful, to send a HTML body, add the following headers:
body := "<html><body><h1>Hello World!</h1></body></html>"
headers["MIME-Version"] = "1.0"
headers["Content-Type"] = "text/html; charset=UTF-8"
