I believe your issue is handling credentials. Here is how I handle the smtp credentials:

$smtpPwd = "password"
$smtpCredentialsUsername = "[email protected]"
$smtpCredentialsPassword = ConvertTo-SecureString -String $smtpPwd -AsPlainText -Force

 $Credentials = New-Object –TypeName System.Management.Automation.PSCredential 
    –ArgumentList $smtpCredentialsUsername, $smtpCredentialsPassword

Then:

  $smtp.Credentials = $Credentials

Or if you are using Send-MailMessage store your email credentials locally by running this short script by itself beforehand:

Get-Credential | Export-Clixml C:\fso\myemailcreds.xml

It will prompt you to enter your credentials and then store them locally in (in this case) a folder called fso. Then in any Send-MailMessage cmdlet use the locally stored credentials as follows:

Send-MailMessage -To 'Recipient <[email protected]>' -from 'John Donnelly <[email protected]>' 
    -cc 'whoever <[email protected]>' -Subject $subject -Body $body 
    -BodyAsHtml -smtpserver "smtp.office365.com" -usessl 
    -Credential (Import-Clixml C:\fso\myemailcreds.xml) -Port 587

You Can use below Powershell script for send mail

Send-MailMessage -To "[email protected]" -From "[email protected]" -Cc "[email protected]","[email protected]" -Subject Test Mail -BodyAsHtml $htmlbody -SmtpServer "mailhost.abc.com"

where $htmlbody is string variable that contain html.
