Trouble sending email in mvc application

Having some trouble sending email from my application..

I get the following Exception

An exception of type 'System.Net.Mail.SmtpException' occurred in System.dll but was not handled in user code

Additional information: Failure sending mail.

The exception pops up when running: smtpClient.Send(mailMessage);

Function that should send mail:

public static void SendEmail(string toAddress, string subject, string body, bool isBodyHtml = true)
{
    var mailMessage = new MailMessage();
    mailMessage.To.Add(toAddress);
    mailMessage.Subject = subject;
    mailMessage.Body = body;
    mailMessage.IsBodyHtml = isBodyHtml;

    var smtpClient = new SmtpClient { EnableSsl = false };
    smtpClient.Send(mailMessage);
}

WebConfig configuration

 <system.net>
    <mailSettings>
      <!-- Method#1: Send emails over the network -->
      <smtp deliveryMethod="Network" from="[email protected]">
        <network host="gmail.com" userName="myusername"  password="mypw"  port="465" />
      </smtp>
    </mailSettings>
  </system.net>

Any help appreciated
