What is causing SMTPAuthenticationError

I just deployed my application to an ubuntu server. I have ssl, so I made the respective modifications in my settings.py, it looks like this:

EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django_smtp_ssl.SSLEmailBackend'
EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.gmail.com'
EMAIL_PORT = 465
EMAIL_HOST_USER = '[email protected]'
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'password'
EMAIL_USE_SSL = True

I believe this is the Right configuration but when a email is sent I get something like:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/admin/Mefid/TransversalScripts/comunication.py", line 122, 
in send_email
    fail_silently=False, html_message=html_message)
  File "/home/admin/Mefid/venv2/lib/python3.7/site- 
packages/django/core/mail/__init__.py", line 60, in send_mail
return mail.send()

I followed a guide here https://github.com/bancek/django-smtp-ssl is there anything else I should be aware of? Thanks for your help.
