I have faced the same error, this worked for me

try {
            var transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
                service: 'gmail',
                port:465,
                secure: true, // true for 465, false for other ports
                logger: true,
                debug: true,
                secureConnection: false,
                auth: {
                    user: 'test@gmail.com', // generated ethereal user
                    pass: '*****', // generated ethereal password
                },
                tls:{
                    rejectUnAuthorized:true
                }
            })

         var info = await transporter.sendMail({
                from: 'myuser@outlook.com', // sender address
                to: 'anotheruser@hotmail.co.uk', // list of receivers
                subject: 'Test Email', // Subject line
                text: 'Hello world ?' // plain text body
                html: output, // html body
        });
        }
       catch(error) {
                console.log(error)
       }
