Django: Outlook email smtp timeout in production server

i'm trying to send a SMTP email from Django, using my credentials of Outlook. My code works in localhost, but when I upload my code to production server, it doesn't.

If I use my Gmail credential, it also works in production, but it doesn't with Outlook. So, I think Outlook is configured in a different way, but I dont know.

This is my view code:

def send_my_custom_email():

    connection = mail.get_connection(
        host = 'smtp-mail.outlook.com',
        port = 25,
        username = '[email protected]',
        password = 'mypassword' ,
        )
    connection.open()

    email2send  = mail.EmailMessage('hello', 'hello', '[email protected]', to=['receiveremail'], connection=connection)

    email2send.send()
    connection.close()

I know that my configuration setting are right because it can send emails from localhost. These are my settings.py:

EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend'
EMAIL_USE_TLS = True

I already try to check the Outlook settings, but I couldn't find anything about SMTP use.

My exact questions are:

  1. Outlook need aditional settings in production?
  2. The problem is in my code or in Outlook settings?
  3. Why it works in localhost but it does not in production server?

Outlook.com only allows encrypted SMTP TLS connections on port 587. It does not even listen on port 25, that is why you get a timeout.
