Email cannot be sent in Python.[Errno 61] Connection refused error happens

Email cannot be sent in Python.I want to send an email by using Gmail. I wrote codes in views.py like

    def mail(mail_adress, docx):

            msg = MIMEMultipart()
            msg["Subject"] = "TEST"
            msg["From"] = settings.EMAIL_HOST_USER
            msg["To"] = email

            message = "TEST"
            body = MIMEText(message)
            msg.attach(body)

            mime = {'type': 'text', 'subtype': 'docx'}
            attach_file = {'name': 'test.docx', 'path': '/Users/test.docx'}

            attachment = MIMEBase(mime['type'], mime['subtype'])
            file = open(attach_file['path'], 'rb')
            attachment.set_payload(file.read())
            file.close()
            encoders.encode_base64(attachment)
            msg.attach(attachment)
            attachment.add_header("Content-Disposition", "attachment", filename=attach_file['name'])

            return msg

    def send(from_addr, to_addrs, msg):
        smtp = smtplib.SMTP()
        smtp.connect()

        from_addr = '[email protected]'
        from_addr_name = "test"
        to_addr= "[email protected]"
        subject = u"test"
        message = "test"
        body = MIMEText(message)
        mime = {'type': 'text', 'subtype': 'docx'}
        attach_file = {'name': 'test.docx', 'path': '/Users/test.docx'}

        msg = mail(from_addr, from_addr_name, to_addr, subject, body, mime, attach_file)
        smtp.sendmail(from_addr, to_addrs, msg)
        smtp.close()

    send()

in settings.py

EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.gmail.com'
EMAIL_PORT = 587
EMAIL_HOST_USER = '[email protected]'
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'xxxxxxxxx'
EMAIL_USE_TLS = True

When I run the codes, [Errno 61] Connection refused error happens.Traceback says

    sock.connect(sa)
ConnectionRefusedError: [Errno 61] Connection refused

I really cannot understand why such an error happens.What is wrong in my codes?How should I fix this?

  1. Settings.py

    EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.gmail.com'
EMAIL_PORT = 587
EMAIL_HOST_USER = '[email protected]'
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'xxxxxxxxx'
EMAIL_USE_TLS = True
EMAIL_USE_SSL = False

  2. Go to your Google Account settings, find Security -> Account permissions -> Access for less secure apps, enable let less secure apps sign in option. https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255

[Errorno 61] is due to connection refused by server. See if this could help.
