However, the problem is that for end-to-end encryption sender AND recipient must use encryption. Unfortunately most people do not use encryption and there are only two solutions: you do not communicate with these people (which is not really an option) OR you communicate without encryption.

If you do not require interoperability with SMTP, cables communication [1] does what you require b encryption and authentication are transparent, and server issues can be ignored, since there are no servers. Cables communication also has delivery verification and other features. Note that PGP / S/MIME-type encryption is undesirable for most users, since it ties authentication to non-repudiability [2].
