How to change or override smtp_password for Google Composer Airflow

I am trying to do a setup of smtp server in Google Composer Airflow, as per the google document smtp_password can not be overridden and default password should be used.

Is there any option to use smtp server with actual password in Google Cloud Composer.

According to the documentation, some Airflow configurations are preconfigured for Cloud Composer and you cannot change them like smtp-smtp_password after the new environment is already created.

You can receive notifications by configuring SENDGRID_MAIL_FROM and SENDGRID_API_KEY environment variables to send email through the SendGrid email service using the SendGrid API key instead of smtp_password.

Additionally, you can configure third-party SMTP services but consider that Cloud Composer does not support configuring the smtp_password because the value is stored in plain text in airflow.cfg and considered unsecure.
