To get it working  I had to go to myaccount google com -   connected apps  amp  sites   and turn  Allow less secure apps  to  ON   near the bottom of the page

You are doing all well  Just you have to check different SMTP ports like 465 and others that works on your system  Another thing to keep in mind to allow access to the  less secure apps by google account otherwise it throws the same error  I have gone through it for a whole day and the only thing I am doing wrong is the port no   I just changed the port no  and it works

You ve got no SMTPSecure setting to define the type of authentication being used  and you re running the Host setting with the unnecessary  ssl      PS -- ssl is over port 465  if you need to run it over ssl instead  see the accepted answer here  Here s the lines to add change      mail- gt SMTPSecure    tls    -  mail- gt Host    ssl   smtp gmail com      mail- gt Host    smtp gmail com

I know its been a while since this question but I had the exact problem and solved it by disabling SMTP BLOCK on csf conf  we use CSF for a firewall     To disable just edit csf conf and disable SMTP BLOCK like so                                                                                     SECTION SMTP Settings                                                                                   Block outgoing SMTP except for root  exim and mailman  forces scripts users   to use the exim sendmail binary instead of sockets access   This replaces the   protection as WHM  gt  Tweak Settings  gt  SMTP Tweaks     This option uses the iptables ipt owner xt owner module and must be loaded   for it to work  It may not be available on some VPS platforms     Note  Run  etc csf csftest pl to check whether this option will function on   this server   SMTP BLOCK    1  -- gt  this will cause phpmailer Connection timed out  110  SMTP BLOCK    0

If it works on your localhost but not on your web host    Some hosting sites block certain outbound SMTP ports  Commenting out the line  mail- gt IsSMTP    as noted in the accepted answer may make it work  but it is simply disabling your SMTP configuration  and using the hosting site s email config    If you are using GoDaddy  there is no way to send mail using a different SMTP  I was using SiteGround  and found that they were allowing SMTP access from ports 25 and 465 only  with an SSL encryption type  so I would look up documentation for your host and go from there

You must to have installed php openssl dll  if you use wampserver it s pretty easy  search and apply the extension for PHP   In the example change this          Set the hostname of the mail server      mail- gt Host    smtp gmail com          Set the SMTP port number - 587 for authenticated TLS  a k a  RFC4409 SMTP submission 465 ssl      mail- gt Port   465         Set the encryption system to use - ssl  deprecated  or tls      mail- gt SMTPSecure    ssl     and then you recived an email from gmail talking about to enable the option to Less Safe Access Applications here https   www google com settings security lesssecureapps  I recommend you change the password and encrypt it constantly

Here is a list of this you should look into when dealing with PHPMailer    Enable openSSL by un-commenting extension php openssl dll in your PHP ini Use  mail- gt SMTPSecure    tls   and  mail- gt Port   587  Enable debugging for if you are going wrong somewhere else like incorrect username and password etc
