Are you able to send your message successfully using plain SwiftMailter without Yii being involved?

No, it doesn't seem to work.

<?php
// echo phpinfo();

require_once 'vendor/swiftmailer/swiftmailer/lib/swift_required.php';

// Create the Transport
$transport = Swift_SmtpTransport::newInstance('smtp.gmail.com', 587)
  ->setUsername('contact@bestsales.com')
  ->setPassword('xxx')
  ->setEncryption('tls');

// Create the Mailer using your created Transport
$mailer = Swift_Mailer::newInstance($transport);

// Create a message
$message = Swift_Message::newInstance('Wonderful Subject')
  ->setFrom(array('john@doe.com' => 'John Doe'))
  ->setTo(array('contact@bestsales.com'))
  ->setBody('Here is the message itself');

// Send the message
$result = $mailer->send($message);

$ php web/test.php
PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught exception 'Swift_TransportException' with message 'Expected response code 250 but got code "535", with message "535-5.7.8 Username and Password not accepted. Learn more at

This is not Yii issue. You may open a ticket at swiftmailer project.
