    Try defining your EMAIL_SMTP_HOST to

    define("EMAIL_SMTP_HOST", "ssl://smtp.gmail.com");

    If by chance it doesnt work check your EMAIL_SMTP_PORT it may be different to what you set there

    define("EMAIL_SMTP_PORT",225O);

    Lastly check if by chance your SSL Certificate is installed in your server,same to the mail server also make sure your cridentials both "SMTP_USERNAME" and "SMTP_PASSWORD" are correct.

    If you’re running Red Hat-derivatives, they come with SELinux enabled by default, and probably php-fpm is denied access to create socket. Try checking it by running grep php /var/log/audit/audit.log | grep denied.

    If so, you can run /usr/sbin/setsebool httpd_can_network_connect 1 as root, then try to run the code again.
