Not just GMAIL,  all (RFC Compliant) SMTP servers require a 2nd EHLO
after a successful STARTTLS command.

The list of returned options / available commands will usually be
different for the 2nd EHLO.  Often this will just mean the removal of
the STARTTLS option, but sometimes there can be additional
functionality offered.

HTH :)
