If you are using Amazon EC2, do ensure to set outbound rules for SMTP (25) and SMTPS (465) to Anywhere.

MAIL_MAILER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.googlemail.com
MAIL_PORT=465
MAIL_USERNAME=yourgmailemail@gmail.com
MAIL_PASSWORD='yourgmailpassword'
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=ssl
MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS=yourgmailemail@gmail.com
MAIL_FROM_NAME="${APP_NAME}"
```
