Just double check, whether your account information is correct and that this is not a new account. Google needs to know that this is you, using the account and not a spammy bot.

Gmail SMTP port (SSL): 465
See: What Are the Gmail SMTP Server Settings?[^]

You first check your gmail account has two steps verification is on or not. If on then you must off two steps verification.
