Check TLS Encryption : this is important as Gmail accepts SMTP connection with SSL only.

  This was so great - I also used it to allow my network printers to scan to email via Exchange Online when they didn't support TLS encryption. Thank you so much!!!

  Thank you for posting this, it is very clear and helpful. The set up of Gmail was straightforward and I followed these steps to configure SMTP and SharePoint. It worked perfectly. The whole process took about 15 minutes and I had emails being sent from a Nintex workflow. Well done!!
