Django. Getting "ConnectionRefusedError: [Errno 111" when trying to send an email

Description

I am trying to send an email using django.core.mail.send_email() and constantly getting the ConnectionRefusedError: [Errno 111] Connection refused with the following traceback:

ConnectionRefusedError: [Errno 111] Connection refused

My SMTP configurations in the settings.py:

EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend'
EMAIL_HOSTS = 'smtp.gmail.com'
EMAIL_PORT = 587
EMAIL_USE_TLS = True
EMAIL_HOST_USER = '[email protected]'
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'my_passwod'

Additional

"Less security app access" in my google account is turned on.
I can successfully connect to the smtp.gmail.com via telnet from the same machine.
Using another smtp host changes nothing.

I use:

Django3.1.6 | Python 3.8.5 | Linux Mint 20.1

it helped me to add in settingd.py:

RECIPIENTS_EMAIL = ['[email protected]']   # замените на свою почту
DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL = '[email protected]'  # замените на свою почту
EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.console.EmailBackend'

It was just a typo in the settings.py file's line which specify a SMTP host: EMAIL_HOSTS = 'smtp.gmail.com' instead of EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.gmail.com'. So Django used the default EMAIL_HOST parameter - localhost and was failing to connect. Thanks people in comments that tried to help me.
