It works fine in my case:

private void btnTestConnection_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
     {
    btnTestConnection.Enabled = false;
    SmtpClient ss = new SmtpClient(txtSmtpHostName.Text.Trim(), Convert.ToInt32(numSmtpHostPort.Value));
    ss.EnableSsl = chkSmtpSecureType.Checked;
    ss.Timeout = 10000;
    ss.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;
    ss.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
    ss.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(txtSmtpAccount.Text.Trim(), txtSmtpPassword.Text);

    MailMessage mm = new MailMessage(txtSmtpFromEmail.Text.Trim(), "test@domain.com", "subject", "my body");
    mm.BodyEncoding = UTF8Encoding.UTF8;
    mm.DeliveryNotificationOptions = DeliveryNotificationOptions.OnFailure;
    ss.SendCompleted += (s, b) =>
    {
        ss.Dispose();
        mm.Dispose();
    };
    try
    {
        ss.Send(mm);
        ss.Dispose();
        mm.Dispose();
        MessageBox.Show("Connection successfully");
    }
    catch (Exception ep)
    {
        MessageBox.Show("Connection error: " + ep.Message, "Smtp Connection Error", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error);
    }
    btnTestConnection.Enabled = true;
}
