[Python] How to send messages to an XMPP server using only Twisted?

I need to send messages to an XMPP server. Only send - I don't need to process replies, make a bot, or anything like that. When using the xmpppy module, it goes something like this:

from xmpp import Client
from xmpp.protocol import JID, Message


jabberid = 'user@server.com'
password = 'secret'
receiver = 'sender_id@conference.server.com'
message = 'Hello world!'

jid = JID(jabberid)
connection = Client(server=jid.getDomain(), debug=None)
connection.connect()
connection.auth(user=jid.getNode(), password=password, resource=jid.getResource())
connection.send(Message(to=receiver, body=message))


However, I need to do this using Twisted. Unfortunately, the documentation is mostly useless (seems machine-generated) and I have absolutely no idea what I am supposed to do. :-(

Maybe something like

from twisted.words.protocols.jabber.jid import JID
from twisted.words.protocols.jabber.client import XMPPAuthenticator

jabberid = 'user@server.com'
password = 'secret'

jid = JID(jabberid)
XMPPAuthenticator(jid, password)


but what then?
