For anyone else trying to use Gmail as the email server you need to create an “app password” for the gmail account you want to use as Google now require app passwords when using 3rd party services to send email on behalf.
I recommend anyone to use a more reliable SMTP server for their business needs. Mailgun allows you to use theirs for free(you need to put in your credit card but they never charge you unless you use their paid plans) against your domain.
