PHPMailer "Relaying denied. Proper authentification required"

I have an issue with PHPMailer. I want to send an e-mail form myself to myself, when a certain form is filled on my website (with the informations of the form in it), but I can't get it to work. PHP doesn't send any error (I made sure it's enabled), but with SMTPDebug, I get this:

2015-02-12 07:35:58 CLIENT -> SERVER: EHLO localhost
2015-02-12 07:35:58 CLIENT -> SERVER: MAIL FROM:
2015-02-12 07:35:58 CLIENT -> SERVER: RCPT TO:
2015-02-12 07:35:58 SMTP ERROR: RCPT TO command failed: 550 5.7.1 ... Relaying denied. Proper authentication required.
2015-02-12 07:35:58 CLIENT -> SERVER: QUIT
2015-02-12 07:35:58 SMTP Error: The following recipients failed: [email protected]

Here's the code sample:

        require("PHPMailer-master/PHPMailerAutoload.php");
        $mail = new phpmailer();

        $mail->IsSMTP();
        $mail->SMTPDebug = 1;
        $mail->Host      = "smtp.server.com"; //Mod

        $mail->From      = "[email protected]"; //Mod
        $mail->FromName  = "Automatic e-mail, no reply";
        $mail->AddAddress("[email protected]"); //Mod

        $mail->Subject   = "A student forgot his password";
        $mail->Body      = $class.'\r\n'.$fname.' '.$lname;
        $mail->WordWrap  = 70;

        if(!$mail->Send())
            $sent = false;
        else
            $sent = true;

(The //Mod at the end of a line indicates that I modified the data for privacy reasons.)

Now I've read some people fixed this by commenting this line:

mail->IsSMTP();

But I only get another error when I do that:

Could not instantiate mail function

Which seems quite logical to me.

The server requires a valid authenticated user, you need to add authorization credentials. Of course change the values of Username and Password for valid authorization credentials in your SMTP server.

$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->Username = "yourauthorizeduser"; // It could be [email protected]"
$mail->Password = "v3rys3cr3t";
