I'm pretty sure Outlook is not going to appreciate you sending phishing mail trough their system. It will be against their TOS, even if you have an agreement with the targets.

Having said that, you need to enable insecure logins in order to have SMTP on Outlook/GMail.

Be warned, you will be banned the moment you do something they detect. This may or may not include the headers GoPhish always sends with e-mails. Do not use anything associated with your private accounts!

@EdidiongA Your error makes me think that a firewall or other device is blocking access to port 587.

Please try connect from the command line, with a tool like netcat, e.g:

$ nc -v smtp-mail.outlook.com 587
Connection to outlook.office365.com port 587 [tcp/submission] succeeded!
