Many possibilities here.

  • Your email host user isn’t correct
  • Your email host password isn’t correct
  • Your email account doesn’t have “Less secure apps” enabled
  • You’re not using an app password for your account
  • The email address you’re using as the “from” address isn’t authorized for that account.

I suggest you find a blog post that describes exactly what needs to be done to send emails through gmail using smtp.

What I also suggest you do is write a small-standalone script to use the Python SMTP library to send a test email from the command line. Use that to check your account’s settings and server configuration before setting it up in Django.
