If you are trying to send mail from your local enviroment eg  XAMPP or WAMP   this error will occur everytime  go ahead and try the same code on your web hosting or whatever you are using for production    Also  2 step authentication from google may be the issue

You perhaps use the wrong username   I had a similar error  Ensure you re not using uppercase while logging into server   Example  JacekPL lala pl  If you use - gt setUsername  JacekPL    this can cause an error  Use - gt setUsername  jacekpl   instead  This solved my problem

I just received the same error    The strange thing is that commented the credential lines      - gt setUsername self   config- gt username     - gt setPassword self   config- gt password    And the problem disappeared    I m puzzled because the mail server definitely needs those credentials

First check if there is any connectivity problem and you can reach the SMTP server   In terminal type   telnet servername portnumber    If you receive the 220 response you can reach the SMTP server and there is no connectivity problem but if the connection to the server failed see what s wrong in your network   If the server needs auth try to authenticate on the server by username and password and see if something goes wrong   At last see if the server requires encryption and if yes openssl and other stuff are configured correctly

I got the same same error   I was using gmail account and Google s SMTP server to send emails  The problem was due to SMTP  server refusing to authorize as it considered my web host  through whom I sent email  as an intruder   I followed Google s process to identify my web host as an valid entity to send email through my account and problem was solved
