Expected response code 250 but got code "530", with message "530 5.7.1 authentication required "

Question

Problem :

I got stuck on below error I am trying to configure my SMTP mail on laravel

“Expected response code 250 but got code "530", with message "530 5.7.1 authentication required "”

Below is the configuration on .env

MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.mailtrap.io
MAIL_PORT=2525
MAIL_USERNAME=fff3c01db52ee0
MAIL_PASSWORD=feaeda91dc9ab6
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=TLS

I have tried to authenticate my SMTP on the env but I keep facing the above error so for now I am stuck on that error.

Answer 1

Your mail.php on the config you have declared the host as smtp.mailgun.org and the port is 587 while on the env is different. So you need to change the mail.php as shown below:

'host' => env('MAIL_HOST', 'mailtrap.io'),

'port' => env('MAIL_PORT', 2525),

if you want to use the mailtrap. Then run below command

php artisan config:cache

OR

I can see that you have all the settings right. You just need to end your local web server and start it again with the below command

php artisan serve

Every time you change the .env file, you just need to restart your server for your new options to start taking effect.

Or just clear and cache the configuration with below command.

php artisan config:cache

I hope the above solutions will help you.
