That error message means that there was not response OR the server could not be connected.

The following settings worked on my end:

'stream' => [
        'ssl' => [
            'allow_self_signed' => true,
            'verify_peer' => false,
            'verify_peer_name' => false,
        ],
    ]

Note that my SMTP settings are:

MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
MAIL_PORT=465
MAIL_USERNAME=[full gmail address]
MAIL_PASSWORD=[App Password obtained after two step verification]
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=ssl

For me the problem was the port  I first incorrectly used port 465  which works for SSL but not TLS  So the key thing was changing the port to 587

I was facing the same issue  After researching too much on Google and StackOverflow  I found a solution very simple  First  you need to set environment like this  MAIL DRIVER smtp MAIL HOST smtp gmail com MAIL PORT 587 MAIL USERNAME example gmail com MAIL PASSWORD example44 MAIL ENCRYPTION tls MAIL FROM ADDRESS example gmail com   you have to change your Gmail address and password  Now you have to on less secure apps by following this link https   myaccount google com lesssecureapps

if you are using Swift Mailer  please ensure that your  transport variable is similar to the below  based on tests i have done  that error results from ssl and port misconfiguration  note  you must include  ssl  or  tls  in the transport variable   EXAMPLE CODE      Create the Transport  transport    new Swift SmtpTransport  smtp gmail com   465   ssl      - gt setUsername you example com    - gt setPassword password        Create the Mailer using your created Transport  mailer   new Swift Mailer  transport       Create a message  message    new Swift Message  News Letter Subscription      - gt setFrom   app example com    gt   A Name      - gt setTo   someone example com    gt   A Name      - gt setBody  your message body           Send the message  result    mailer- gt send  message

In my case I had to set the   MAIL DRIVER smtp MAIL HOST smtp gmail com MAIL PORT 465            lt  lt  lt  lt  lt  lt  lt -------------------------  FOCUS THIS  MAIL USERNAME  lt  lt your email address gt  gt  MAIL PASSWORD  lt  lt app password gt  gt   MAIL ENCRYPTION  ssl     lt  lt  lt  lt  lt  lt  lt -------------------------  FOCUS THIS    to work it   Might be useful  Rest of the code was same as  Sid said   And I think that editing both environment file and app config mail php is unnecessary  Just use one method   Edit as per the comment by  Zan  If you need to enable tls protection use following settings   MAIL PORT 587 MAIL ENCRYPTION  tls     See here for some other gmail settings

This problem can generally occur when you do not enable two step verification for the gmail account  which can be done here  you are using to send an email  So first  enable two step verification  you can find plenty of resources for enabling two step verification  After you enable it  then you have to create an app password  And use the app password in your  env file  When you are done with it  your  env file will look something like   MAIL DRIVER smtp MAIL HOST smtp gmail com MAIL PORT 587 MAIL USERNAME  lt  lt your email address gt  gt  MAIL PASSWORD  lt  lt app password gt  gt  MAIL ENCRYPTION tls   and your mail php   lt  php  return        driver    gt  env  MAIL DRIVER    smtp         host    gt  env  MAIL HOST    smtp gmail com         port    gt  env  MAIL PORT   587        from    gt    address    gt    lt  lt your email gt  gt     name    gt    lt  lt any name gt  gt          encryption    gt  env  MAIL ENCRYPTION    tls         username    gt  env  MAIL USERNAME         password    gt  env  MAIL PASSWORD         sendmail    gt    usr sbin sendmail -bs        pretend    gt  false        After doing so  run php artisan config cache and php artisan config clear  then check  email should work
