Laravel is not sending emails even configuration is right

Question

I am trying to send emails in laravel and whenever I try to send the mail it gives me this error.

Failed to authenticate on SMTP server with username "info@vexpo.pk" using 3 possible authenticators. Authenticator CRAM-MD5 returned Expected response code 235 but got code "535", with message "535 5.7.0 Invalid login or password ". Authenticator LOGIN returned Expected response code 250 but got an empty response. Authenticator PLAIN returned Expected response code 250 but got an empty response

I have tried many solutions and tried many answers from here but nothing is working here are the config I am using.

.Env

MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=mail.vexpo.pk
MAIL_PORT=587
MAIL_USERNAME=info@vexpo.pk
MAIL_PASSWORD=******
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=null

Mail.php

Answer 1

MAIL_USERNAME=info@vexpo.pk
MAIL_PASSWORD=******



all problems are here... you should check in your vexpo account they provide username & password . 

ex

MAIL_USERNAME=281c53efc0089w
MAIL_PASSWORD=8fe2dd1b8b975q

Like This. not your mail id


I solved my this type problem. on this way.

i hope it will worked
