    If you use an SMTP plugin, do not set the SMTP on Newsletter and Newsletter will send email using your plugin. Be sure the "direct" sending is not set on main settings as well.

    Smtp = OFF
    Direct sending = NO

    With the Gmail smtp plugin I can use :
    TLS 587 or SSL 465

    In both choice your test mail give me this error

    Try Google Less secure apps configuration

    Log in to your Gmail account through a web browser and enable access through less secure apps . Less secure apps can make your account more vulnerable, Google will automatically turn this setting off if it's not being used. However, bypass this security setting with a configuration tweak within your Google Email Account .

    How "more secure apps" help to protect your account?

    Which level of access you're giving the client before you connect your Account.
    Client access only a relevant part of your Account, like your email or calendar.
    Connect your Google Account to the client without exposing your password.
    Disconnect your Google Account from the client at any time.
