You may need to use an app password instead of your gmail password to authenticate to gmail's smtp server -- see this: https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833

Tip: Don’t create an App Password unless the app or device you want to connect to your account doesn’t have “Sign in with Google.”

Do you support this?
