I want to send mail as outlook mail... but it shows the connection error and authentication error if some port numbers are changed... what wrong in my code....

$mail = new PHPMailer();
$mail->IsSMTP();
$mail->SMTPDebug = 2;
$mail->CharSet = 'UTF-8';
$mail->SMTPAuth   = true; 
$mail->SMTPSecure = "ssl";
$mail->Host       = "outlook.office365.com";
$mail->Port       = 993;
$mail->Username = "[email protected]";   
$mail->Password = "XXXXXXX";
$mail->From = $from;
$mail->FromName= $FromName;
$mail->isHTML(true);
$mail->Subject = $subject;
$mail->Body = $message;
$mail->addAddress('[email protected]','harish');
if(!$mail->send()){
 echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
}else{
 echo "E-Mail has been sent";
}

As George stated, the port should be 587. Make sure you are using TLS:

$mail->Port = 587;  
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls';
$mail->Host = 'smtp-mail.outlook.com;smtp.office365.com';  // Specify main and backup SMTP servers

But Outlook self-signs its own SSL/TLS certificate. Hence you need to add this piece of code as per https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer/issues/914:

$mail->SMTPOptions = array(
                'ssl' => array(
                    'verify_peer' => false,
                    'verify_peer_name' => false,
                    'allow_self_signed' => true
                )
            );
