Solution post May 2022:

If you are seeing this issue after May 2022, The issue you are having is related to googles remove Less secure apps & your Google Account setting from our google accounts. Less secure apps was what enabled us to use our google login and passwords with their smtp server.

In order to use it now you must enable 2fa on your google account and configure an apps password. You can then use the apps password in place of your actual google password to connect to the smtp server.

Quick fix for SMTP username and password not accepted error

try this:

MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
MAIL_PORT=587
[email protected]
MAIL_PASSWORD=""
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls

Make sure that your password is rounded by the double quotes "".
