You can try following steps

1. Turn on "less secure apps" for your account here.
   
2. Try by setting your mail encryption to tls and port to 587 in your .env file
   MAIL_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
   MAIL_PORT=587
   MAIL_USERNAME=your-email@gmail.com
   MAIL_PASSWORD=your-password
   MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls
   
3. Then run php artisan cache:clear

This worked just fine for me.
