OJS 3.0 Notification emails not sent

I have issue in sending the notification emails.
Like when a user register, no welcome mail sent.
When paper is submitted by author, no acknowledgement email sent.
When assign reviewer, no email is sent.

But when I looked up into pHpMyAdmin the email logs shows the entry of all notification emails.

In error log I found the following error occurs when I tried to submit a new article:
