PhpMailer SMTP ERROR Username command failed: 535 5.7.8

PHPMailer 5.2 keeps telling me, that I cannot send out an e-mail.

I know the credentials are proper (firefox checks e-mails, laravel sends out emails).

Which setting/command am I missing?

PHP code:

$mail->isSMTP();
$mail->Host = ******;
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->Username = ******;
$mail->Password = ******;
$mail->SMTPSecure = false;
$mail->Port = 25;
$mail->SMTPDebug  = 3;
$mail->SMTPOptions = [
    'ssl' => [
        'verify_peer' => false,
        'verify_peer_name' => false,
        'allow_self_signed' => true
    ]
];

SMTP Debug:

AuthType should solve your problem:

$mail->AuthType = 'LOGIN';

other options include: PLAIN, LOGIN, NTLM, CRAM-MD5, XOAUTH2

I don't know which commands are missing but my suggestion is use swift mailer instead of php mailer. following code is useful to send mail using swift mailer. You can download swift mailer library from following link and make sure you download swift 5.0.1.

http://swiftmailer.org/downloads/archive

<?php
require_once 'Swift-5.0.1/lib/swift_required.php';

// Grab the Data
$emailc=$emailid;
 $name=filter_var(''.$name1.'',FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING);
  $uname1=filter_var(''.$uname.'',FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING);
   $psw1=filter_var(''.$psw.'',FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING);
 $email=filter_var($emailc,FILTER_SANITIZE_EMAIL);


// Create our body messag
 $data = "Nanme:".$name."<br>Your username is <b>".$uname1."</b> and password is <b>".$psw1."</b> ";


//Create the transport
    $transport = Swift_SmtpTransport::newInstance('smtp.gmail.com',587,'tls')
    ->setUsername('[email protected]')
    ->setPassword('xyz121212');


// Create the mailer
 $mailer = Swift_Mailer::newInstance($transport);
 $message = Swift_Message::newInstance('Demo')
  ->setFrom (array('[email protected]' => 'Demo'))
  ->setTo (array(''.$email.'' => 'Add Recipients'))
  ->setSubject ('Thanks, This mail is for remind your appoinment')
  ->setBody ($data, 'text/html');

// Send the message
 $result = $mailer->send($message); 
?>
