i'm getting the following error and it's taking an incredibly long time

Hi {{$user['name']}}. this is the first email we've sent
Config/mail.php
<?php
return [
'driver' => 'smtp',
'host' => env('MAIL_HOST', 'smtp.gmail.com'),
'port' => env('MAIL_PORT', 587),
'from' => ['address' => '[email protected]', 'name' => 'Marketing'],
'encryption' => 'tls',
'username' => env('MAIL_USERNAME',[email protected]'),
'password' => env('MAIL_PASSWORD','OTHERPASS’),
'sendmail' => '/usr/sbin/sendmail -bs',
'pretend' => false,
];
.env
MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
MAIL_PORT=587
[email protected]
MAIL_PASSWORD=OTHERPASS
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls
When I do dd(Config::get("mail")); - I get the following which appears correct
array:9 [▼
"driver" => "smtp"
"host" => "smtp.gmail.com"
"port" => "587"
"from" => array:2 [▼
"address" => "[email protected]"
"name" => "Marketing"
]
"encryption" => "tls"
"username" => "[email protected]"
"password" => "OTHERPASS"
"sendmail" => "/usr/sbin/sendmail -bs"
"pretend" => false
]
