You've based your code on an old example, and are probably using an old version of PHPMailer. Get the latest. After that, read the troubleshooting docs. — Synchro
try $mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls';, double check the username and password. You can check the PHPMailer documentation for gmail. — Arjun Komath

This is my phpMailer. Hope it will help you

require RB_ROOT.'/PHPMailer-master/PHPMailerAutoload.php';

define('GLAVNIMAIL', '[email protected]');
define('PASSMAIL', 'xxxxxxxxx'); // enable 2 way notification on gmail to get this code

$mail = new PHPMailer;
//$mail->SMTPDebug = 4;
$mail->CharSet = 'UTF-8';
$mail->isSMTP();
$mail->Debugoutput = 'html';
$mail->Host = 'smtp.gmail.com';
$mail->Port = 587;
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls';
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->Username = GLAVNIMAIL;  
$mail->Password = PASSMAIL;
$mail->From = GLAVNIMAIL;
$mail->FromName = 'Title From';
$mail->isHTML(true);
$mail->addAddress($email, 'Nov Korisnik');     // Add a recipient
//$mail->addReplyTo($email, $korpaime.' '.$korpaprezime);
//$mail->addCC('[email protected]');
$mail->addBCC(GLAVNIMAIL);
//$mail->addAttachment('/var/tmp/file.tar.gz');         // Add attachments
//$mail->addAttachment('/tmp/image.jpg', 'new.jpg');    // Optional name

$mail->Subject = 'Registracija korisnika '.$email;
$mail->Body = $bodyMail;
$mail->AltBody = 'This is the body in plain text for non-HTML mail clients';

if (!$mail->send()) {
    echo 'Message could not be sent.';
    echo 'Mailer Error: ' . $mail->ErrorInfo;
    die;
} else {
    echo 'OK poslat mail';
