Failed to authenticate on SMTP server with username "*@gmail.com" using 3 possible authenticators

I tested this one line in my php artisan tinker in my prod VM

>>> Mail::raw('test mail from tinker', function ($message) {
...      $message->to('jdoe@gmail.com');
... });

I kept getting

Swift_TransportException with message 'Failed to authenticate on SMTP server with username "noreply.jdoe@gmail.com" using 3 possible authenticators. Authenticator LOGIN returned Expected response code 235 but got code "535", with message "535-5.7.8 Username and Password not accepted. Learn more at

I have this in my .env

MAIL_ENCRYPTION=ssl
MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
MAIL_PORT=465
MAIL_FROM=noreply.jdoe@gmail.com
MAIL_PASSWORD=qazwsx1234rfgvb
MAIL_TO=jane@outlook.com

That same qazwsx1234rfgvb is working on my local. I got email to sent out, and I see email.

I did this already :

• ✅ Turn ON - Less Secure App
• ✅ Turn ON - 2 Factor Authentication
• ✅ Create App Password - qazwsx1234rfgvb is app word

Any suggestions on what elses to check ?
