Laravel SMTP settings are not working but the same settings are working in Perl

Question

I'm having troubles with SMTP settings in my Laravel.

Here is the mail section of in my .env file:

MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=xxxxx.com
MAIL_PORT=25
MAIL_USERNAME=yyyyy.com
MAIL_PASSWORD=
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls

I'm getting next error:

Swift_TransportException
Connection could not be established with host xxxxx.com :stream_socket_client(): unable to connect to tcp://xxxxx.com:25 (Permission denied)

I've also tried ports 587 and 465. The same result.

But simple Perl script with the same auth data is working correctly:

$To = '[email protected]';
$Server = 'xxxxx.com';
$From = '"Do Not Reply" <[email protected]>';
$ReplyTo = '"Do Not Reply" <[email protected]>';
$Invitation = "test.txt";
$smtp = Net::SMTP->new($Server, Hello => 'yyyyy.com', Timeout => 30, Debug => 1,);
$smtp->mail($From);
$smtp->to($To);
$smtp->data();
$smtp->datasend("To: $To
");
$smtp->datasend("From: $From
");
$smtp->datasend("Reply-To: $ReplyTo
");
open(INVITE, "<$Invitation") || die "Cannot open invitation: $!
";
while(<INVITE>) {
  $smtp->datasend($_);
}
$smtp->dataend();
close INVITE;
$smtp->quit;

My only doubt is that Hello option in Perl script and MAIL_USERNAME in .env file is not the same option.

Maybe I should use other option for that in my .env file?

Thank you in advance!

Try changing the MAIL_PORT to 587
