smtp not working on 1and1

I'm using 1and1 server to host my CakePHP 3.2 application

This is how, I have configured email component on CakePHP

'EmailTransport' => [
    'default' => [
        'className' => 'Smtp',
        // The following keys are used in SMTP transports
        'host' => 'smtp.1and1.com',
        'port' => 587,
        'timeout' => 30,
        'username' => '[email protected]',
        'password' => 'password',
        'client' => null,
        'tls' => null,
        'url' => env('EMAIL_TRANSPORT_DEFAULT_URL', null),
    ],
],

But this is not working and no email is sent and gives Connection Time out after 30 seconds.

From 1and1 email configuration page. It says 

Outgoing port (TLS must be activated)

How to enable/configure TLS in CakePHP ?

Edit 2

the error stack shows SmtpTransport.php

protected function _connect()
{
    $this->_generateSocket();
    if (!$this->_socket->connect()) {     // marked this line
       throw new SocketException('Unable to connect to SMTP server.');
    }
    $this->_smtpSend(null, '220');

Action to send email

public function sendEmail($user_id = null, $email_id = null, $hash = null, $request = null)
{
    switch($request) {
      case 'register' : $subject = 'Account Confirmation';
                        $message = 'You have successfully registered. Click below link to verify it http://website.com/sellers/verify/'.$email_id.'/'.$hash;
        break;
    }

    $email = new Email('default');
    if ($email->from(['[email protected]' => 'Argo Systems'])
          ->to((string)$email_id)
          ->subject($subject)
          ->send($message)) {

      return true;
    } else {
      return false;
    }
}

and calling this function from same controller by

$this->sendEmail($user->id, $user->email, $hash, 'register');

I used below configuration in system for mail using gmail. it work fine. you just try with your server.

 'EmailTransport' => [
        'default' => [
            'className' => 'SMTP',
            // The following keys are used in SMTP transports
            'host' => 'ssl://smtp.gmail.com',
            'port' => 465,
            'timeout' => 100,
            'username' => '[email protected]',
            'password' => 'exmple123',
            'url' => env('EMAIL_TRANSPORT_DEFAULT_URL', null),
        ],
    ],

Check with your port and host.Hope fully it will works

Try 

Thanks

from the manual (bold is mine)

You can configure SSL SMTP servers, like Gmail. To do so, put the ssl:// prefix in the host and configure the port value accordingly. You can also enable TLS SMTP using the tls option:

so just set

'tls' => true

in your configuration array and try if it works

Edit

following this page I found that you don't even need to use the Smtp transporter

just use a simple Mail transporter this way

'default' => [
        'className' => 'Mail'
]

There is no need to supply a username, password, or specify which mail server should be used to send the mail since this information is already contained in PHP variables.

try that!
