laravel email cannot connect to mail server – CPanel

am trying to send email from my laravel app after a user registers but it keeps giving me this error in the network tab,

"message": "Connection could not be established with host mail.i-scbank.com [ #0]

The app is hosted in a shared hosting(cpanel)

i tried with mailtrap and it worked, but when i tried it with my mail server, i got that error message, i even created a new email account, but it still did not work,

Here is my .env code

MAIL_DRIVER=smtp 
MAIL_HOST=mail.eloike.com
MAIL_PORT=587
[email protected]
MAIL_PASSWORD=*****
[email protected]
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls
MAIL_FROM_NAME="Stones"

here is my config/mail.php code

<?php
return [
    'driver' => env('MAIL_DRIVER', 'smtp'),
    'host' => env('MAIL_HOST', 'smtp.mailgun.org'),
    'port' => env('MAIL_PORT', 587),
    'from' => [
        'address' => env('MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS', '[email protected]'),
        'name' => env('MAIL_FROM_NAME', 'Example'),
    ],
    'encryption' => env('MAIL_ENCRYPTION', 'tls'),
    'username' => env('MAIL_USERNAME'),
    'password' => env('MAIL_PASSWORD'),
    'sendmail' => '/usr/sbin/sendmail -bs',
    'markdown' => [
        'theme' => 'default',
        'paths' => [
            resource_path('views/vendor/mail'),
        ],
    ],

    you must change mail.eloike.com with stmp.eloike.com

    Port is probably blocked by a firewall, or access is restricted.

    You can perform a port mapping in order to check:

    nmap -p 587 -T4 -v -Pn mail.eloike.com
[...]
PORT    STATE    SERVICE
587/tcp filtered submission

    filtered means that nmap doesn’t really know what is the port status because something is filtering traffic.

    You can also try connecting with openssl as client:

    openssl s_client -connect mail.eloike.com:587

    I had this output:

    connect:errno=11

    That means connection refused.

    For more information, you have to contact your provider, or to change mailer!

    SMTP port 587 is a STARTTLS port, not TLS. This means that:

    • the initial connection to the mail server is unencrypted (in the clear)
    • the mail server should advertise STARTTLS in its greeating message, and
    • the client, seeing STARTTLS in the greeting, should issue a STARTTLS command to initiate an encrypted connection before sending credentials or any other data.

    Trying to establish an encrypted connection immediately will fail, e.g.:

    $ openssl s_client -4 -host mail.eloike.com -port 587
CONNECTED(00000003)
140052717310400:error:1408F10B:SSL routines:ssl3_get_record:wrong version number:../ssl/record/ssl3_record.c:252:
# ...

    Trying to establish an unencrypted connection upgraded with STARTTLS will succeed, e.g.:

    $ openssl s_client -4 -host mail.eloike.com -port 587 -starttls smtp
CONNECTED(00000003)
# ...
250 HELP

    You’ll need to read up on cPanel to see if it can support outgoing STARTTLS connections (I know it can support incoming connections).
