The only setting to change the default from address would be mail.from.default, but it only supports a static email address and will also run into the same issue you had when using mail.from.enabled (if the address is different than the user name).

The issue you are facing appears not to be a problem with Alfresco, but a limitation in GMail. Using mail.from.enabled IS the correct option in Alfresco, but if GMail makes this impossible to use then I'd say either "bad luck" or "use a better email service".
