You set a different number to the smpt_port parameter. The recommend is
smtp_port = 467
Please, read the documentation:

That won’t solve the problem either!
Have you checked the Google Support documentation related to SMTP:

I’m facing the similar problem after upgrading to the latest release. I tried almost all the techniques, including installation of the latest implement of send mail. None of it helped.

I resolved this by tweaking the server settings.
First, check if the server allows sending emails through SMTP.
You can set up a custom PHP script in a separate dir to check the same.
Example:
<?php
if (isset($_POST["Send"])) {
$Name = $_POST["Name"];
$Email = $_POST["Email"];
$Phone = $_POST["Phone"];
$Message = "Name: ".$Name."\n"."Email: ".$Email."\n"."Mobile: ".$Phone; // The body of the email
require 'phpmailer/PHPMailerAutoload.php';
$mail = new PHPMailer();
$mail->SMTPDebug = SMTP::DEBUG_SERVER;
$mail->isSMTP();
$mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
$mail->SMTPSecure = "tls";
$mail->Port = 587;
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->Username = 'normanmugumya00@gmail.com';
$mail->Password = 'cdgsjgndrrcchrbz';
$mail->setFrom('no-reply@bsu.ac.ug', 'BSU Systems');
$mail->addAddress($Email,$Name);
$mail->Subject = 'SMTP email test';
$mail->Body = $Message;
if ($mail->send()){
?><div class="alert alert-success">Mail sent</div><?php
}else{
echo 'Error: ' . $mail->ErrorInfo;
}
}
?>
<form action="" method="POST" role="form">
<legend>Send Email</legend>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="">Name</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" name="Name" placeholder="Full Name">
<label for="">Email Adress</label>
<input type="email" class="form-control" name="Email" placeholder="Email Address">
<label for="">Tel. No</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" name="Phone" placeholder="Phone Number">
</div>
<button type="submit" name="Send" class="btn btn-primary">Send Email</button>
</form>
</div>
<div class="col-md-6"></div>
</div>
</div>

My server allows sending. I use Azure for hosting. I have been able to send emails using Mailgun in previous versions of OJS. I just don’t want to downgrade and break the database.
