Comment (by barry):

 5.2.10 has been released and we should update.  WordPress.com has been
 running 5.2.10 for a couple of weeks and there have been no issues - it
 also fixed a few bugs, one of which was causing emails to be dropped under
 certain circumstances.  I think the only required change from upstream
 PHPMailer is the (re)addition of {{{require_once 'class-smtp.php';}}} in
 class-phpmailer.php.  The previous changes regarding the AutoLoader are no
 longer required.

 There is also some code in {{{class-smtp.php}}} to support NTLM which
 should probably be removed because executing it will result in a Fatal
 error since the required client is not distributed as part of WordPress:

 {{{require_once 'extras/ntlm_sasl_client.php';}}}


 Happy to provide a patch if we can find someone to commit it :)
