I think you didn't restart your service. You should restart your service by 2 steps:

Step 1: Stop your service (CMD):

Ctrl + C

Step 2: You run service again:

npm run dev
php artisan serve

I ran into the exact same problem with Laravel 6.15.1.

As it turned out, you only need to delete these lines in .env:

MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS=null
MAIL_FROM_NAME="${APP_NAME}"

In your .env file you will need to set the email address and password of your email account.

Steps to configure mailtrap:

1) Register to mailtrap: https://mailtrap.io/register/signup

2) Go to Inbox page: https://mailtrap.io/inboxes

3) Click on Demo Inbox link and you will see the following mailtrap smtp credentials, Where the username and password will be something like this:

"username" => "b8f19cb615a7b3",
"password" => "8218011886905f",

Now change to .env file in the root directory of your project and change the following line:

MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.mailtrap.io
MAIL_PORT=2525
MAIL_USERNAME=***USER NAME***
MAIL_PASSWORD=***PASSWORD***
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=null

After completion of .env edit please enter this command in your terminal for clear cache:

php artisan config:cache

First of all, check your environment variables in your .env file.

They should look something like this:

MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.mailtrap.io
MAIL_PORT=2525
MAIL_USERNAME=username
MAIL_PASSWORD=password
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=null

Secondly check that you have a mail from address, as your error suggests you cannot send an email without a send address.

config/mail.php

Check for

'from' => [
    'address' => env('MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS', '[email protected]'),
    'name' => env('MAIL_FROM_NAME', 'Example'),
],

You can set MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS and MAIL_FROM_NAME in your .env file e.g.

MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS="[email protected]"
MAIL_FROM_NAME="Example"

If you're using a mailable

You can set who the email is from in your build() function e.g.

Source

/**
 * Build the message.
 *
 * @return $this
 */
public function build()
{
    return $this->from('[email protected]')
                ->view('emails.orders.shipped');
}
