It is probably a legend

Usually such theses were sent by letter

How could we know?

If it is true, it was pure provocation, though, as nobody of the regular population could even read his own language.
The reformation was carried out by Reformators who spoke to the public, not wrote any stuff nobody could read.

Luther wrote his theses in Latin, addressed to well educated theologians. On a church door theses texts would be of little use.
