Send mail via google app with smtp relay

Question

My application in asp.net with c#, from application some notification email sent daily (more then 500). We have change mail hosting to Google mail app. For sending mail I was using smtp host “smtp.gmail.com” and it was work fine, but it has limit of 99 so after that its gives below error:

Error : Mailbox unavailable. The server response was: 5.4.5 Daily sending quota exceeded. qa15sm12740316pab.12 – gsmtp

So I have configure smtp relay as per the article https://support.google.com/a/answer/2956491

I have configured smtp mail settings as below:

<smtp from="from emai>">
    <network host="smtp-relay.gmail.com" enableSsl="true" password="password" userName="username" />
</smtp>

Now i am getting below errors, and mail is not sending.

Error : Mailbox unavailable. The server response was: 5.7.1 Invalid credentials for relay [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] gsmtp

I have setup SMTP relay service from Google Apps Admin Console and also added to IP address of server (please see below image). also i have tried to unchecked the "Required SMTP Authentication" check-box.

You can untick 'Require SMTP Authenticaton' and in web.config remove userName and password. It will work.
