I had same issue. Problem was, as Raul commented before, the SMTP. In my case, the problem was the Postfix.

Because I just wanted SMTP to send the emails from monit it was ok for me to remove default Postfix installation and installed again:

# apt-get remove --purge postftix

# apt-get install postfix

then I choose "Internet Site"

Automatically Monit was able to send mails, no more errors in var/log/monit.log

Hope it helps

Your SMTP server is rejecting monit connection, and doesn`t send mail

Sendmail error: 534-5.7.9 Please log in with your web browser and then try again.

You should configure a SMTP relay server that trusts you and don't ask you for login from the server IP
