Answer 1

You have to configure your google account to accept connexions from your host :

In your Google Email Account > Google Account . On My Account Page click on Security and scroll down to the bottom you will find Less secure app access settings . Click on the radio button to set it ON.

Answer 2

Though you tagged this question with PHPMailer, you're not using it. The problem you have is very well known - GoDaddy blocks outbound SMTP. There is nothing you can do to your script or server to make it talk to gmail. I recommend switching to a proper hosting provider that does not block essential services.
