Please describe the issue that you are experiencing

I'm trying to upload my package to test.pypi.org, while having my .pypirc in my home directory, which contains

[distutils]
index-servers =
     pypi
     testpypi

[pypi]
username = __token__
password = pypi-...

[testpypi]
username = __token__
password = pypi-...

When using python -m twine upload --skip-existing dist/* --repository-url https://test.pypi.org/legacy/ --verbose, I get prompted for password to username __token__. Same behavior if I remove my .pypirc file - I always get this:

INFO     Querying keyring for password
Enter your API token:

It also does not work if I use --config-file to point to the file.

It does work when I paste my token in there, so that's not it.

Please list the steps required to reproduce this behaviour

1. install package in editable mode
2. build wheel
3. use twine

Anything else you'd like to mention?

sorry I just figured it out - it was the --repository-url https://test.pypi.org/legacy/ flag which made it ignore the entry in the pypirc file. I switched to --repository testpypi and then it worked. was not easy to figure out from the feedback I got from twine though...
