Expected response code 250 but got code "550", with message "550 Unauthenticated senders not allowed " in SendGrid

Please I am trying to send verification email on my laravel app, it work with mailtrap, but I can't send to the user email, so I want to use sendgrid

Here is my details in my .env file

MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.sendgrid.net
MAIL_PORT=587   
MAIL_USERNAME=sendgridlogin
MAIL_PASSWORD=sendgridpassword
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls

In my mail config file, I have this

<?php

return [

    'driver' => env('MAIL_DRIVER', 'sendgrid'),

    'host' => env('MAIL_HOST', 'smtp.sendgrid.net'),

    'port' => env('MAIL_PORT', 587),
    'from' => [
        'address' => env('MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS', '[email protected]'),
        'name' => env('MAIL_FROM_NAME', 'Example'),
    ],

    'encryption' => env('MAIL_ENCRYPTION', 'tls'),

    'username' => env('sendgridlogin'),

    'password' => env('sendgridpassword'),

.
.

But it returned error

Expected response code 250 but got code "550", with message "550 Unauthenticated senders not allowed "

Please, I have checked other questions, I can't seems to figure it out. I have clear cache

I was able to solve it like this

MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
SENDGRID_API_KEY='YOUR APIKEY'
MAIL_HOST=smtp.sendgrid.net
MAIL_PORT=587
MAIL_USERNAME=yoursendgridusername
MAIL_PASSWORD=yoursendgridpassword
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls
[email protected]
MAIL_FROM_NAME=myname

I also added this to force SSL locally in my mail.php

Don't use this in production

'stream' => [
        'ssl' => [
           'allow_self_signed' => true,
           'verify_peer' => false,
           'verify_peer_name' => false,
        ],
     ],

Don't forget to update your mail.php with sendgrid details.

The error "Unauthenticated Senders not allowed" explicitly means that you're not attempting to authenticate into the SendGrid environment. So even though you're defining your username & password, your connection is not actually sending across the AUTH LOGIN step of the SMTP transaction.
