PHPmailer works on localhost but not work on heroku

PHPMailer works at localhost phpmyadmin, but not work after I deployed on heroku, It seems that PHPMailer has authenticate problem on heroku. Anyone knows the reason? 

$to = '[email protected]';
$subject = 'Aliens Abducted Me - Abduction Report';
$msg = "$name was abducted $when_it_happened and was gone for $how_long.\n" .
"Number of aliens: $how_many\n" .
"Alien description: $alien_description\n" .
"What they did: $what_they_did\n" .
"Fang spotted: $fang_spotted\n" .
"Other comments: $other";

$mail = new PHPMailer();
$mail->  SMTPDebug=2;
$mail ->  isSMTP();
$mail ->  Host='smtp.gmail.com';
$mail ->  SMTPAuth =true;
$mail ->  Username='[email protected]';
$mail ->  Password= 'correct password';
$mail ->  SMTPSecure ='tls';
$mail ->  Port =587;

$mail ->  setFrom($to);
$mail ->  addAddress($to);

$mail ->  addReplyTo($to);
$mail ->  Subject=$subject;
$mail ->  Body=$msg;
$mail ->  send();

And this is the error I got

I'm not sure why Gmail isn't working, but I strongly urge you to use a more appropriate service.

Heroku has good support for sending mail using a variety of production-grade email services. I've personally used SendGrid and been quite happy with it.

You can use environment variables to configure your mailing settings, e.g. to point your development machine at a tool like MailCatcher and point your production Heroku machine to SendGrid.
