Gmail says password incorrect but there is no place to input it??

It used to be in Settings -> Mail, that you could enter the password for an account. But now a Gmail account in iOS has removed that option.

I've got emails stuck in my outbox, quite confusing

Just noticed this as well. There is a spot for a password if you go to Account > SMTP > Gmail SMTP. It's grayed out in my settings so I couldn't change it even if I wanted to. What are you using for a Gmail password setting? I'm using 2 step.

Unfortunately it looks like deleting and readding is the only option....but it should be easier than that.

Here's a link that may help https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6009563?hl=en
On that web page scroll down to "Still having trouble signing in" and follow the instructions. If that fails, deleting and then adding the account back may be your only solution.

Strange, I used the app switcher to kill Settings and Mail, and then when I went back in to Mail and it decided to allow sending again.

So, I didn't input my password at any point. I'm no wiser now :-/
