1. The SMTP settings are incorrect.
2. The password entered is incorrect.
3. The email account has 2-factor authentication enabled (SMTP connection doesn't work if the email account has an additional layer of authentication).
If the issue persists, we suggest creating an app password for this email account and using that password while connecting it through SMTP.
