You can refer EmailBackend for sending email through multiple SMTP in Django this question or

in your view you have to write this code, from where you are sending the email.

from django.core.mail import get_connection, send_mail
from django.core.mail.message import EmailMessage
#TODO: Insert clever settings mechanism
my_host = 'smtp.gmail.com'
my_port = 587
my_username = 'your email address'
my_password = 'password'
my_use_tls = True
connection = get_connection(host=my_host, 
                            port=my_port, 
                            username=my_username, 
                            password=my_password, 
                            user_tls=my_use_tls) 

EmailMessage('Test subject', 'test message', 'from_email', ['to'], connection = connection).send(fail_silently=False)

Check this.
