Answer 1

I believe this has been answered in some sections already, just test with gmail for your "MAIL_HOST" instead and don't forget to clear cache. Setup like below: Firstly, you need to setup 2 step verification here google security. An App Password link will appear and you can get your App Password to insert into below "MAIL_PASSWORD". More info on getting App Password here

MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS=noreply@domain.com
MAIL_FROM_NAME=DomainName
MAIL_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
MAIL_PORT=587
MAIL_USERNAME=YOUR_GMAIL@gmail.com
MAIL_PASSWORD=YOUR_GMAIL_CREATED_APP_PASSWORD
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls

Clear cache with:

php artisan config:cache
