CakePHP 3 Email Transport - Godaddy with Gmail

I don't know how to troubleshoot this. It works locally but not on my godaddy server. Where can I get all my variable options for SSL

I found an answer here I want to try PHPMailer GoDaddy Server SMTP Connection Refused

It says I have to use

SMTP_SERVER: smtpout.secureserver.net (or alternatively relay-hosting.secureserver.net)

SMTP_PORT: 465 //or 3535 or 80 or 25

SMTP_AUTH: true //always

SMTP_Secure: 'ssl' //only if using port 465

How do I set these values with the transport. I know port is 'port' and 'SMTP_SERVER' is 'host' but is 'SMTP_AUTH', 'auth'?

 /*Email Transport*/
 'EmailTransport' => [
   'gmail' => [
               'host' => 'ssl://smtp.gmail.com',
           //'host' => 'relay-hosting.secureserver.net',
          //'host' => 'ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM',
          //'host'=>'smtpout.secureserver.net',
          'port' => 465,
          'username' => '-----@gmail.com',
          'password' => 'password',
          'className' => 'Smtp',
          'log' => true,

        ],
],
 'Email' => [
    'default' => [
        'transport' => 'gmail'

    ],

I think that you cannot set that option in the array because the SMTP Transport class handles it internally. Check the code please of the class.

This works fine here. CakePHP will automatically use SMTP AUTH when you specify username and password. SSL will be used by prefixing the host with ssl:// and the appropriate port as you did.

'Email' => [
    'default' => [
        'transport' => 'gmail'
    ]
],
'EmailTransport' => [
    'gmail' => [
        'host' => 'ssl://smtp.gmail.com',
        'port' => 465,
        'username' => 'googleUserNameWithout', //without the @gmail.com
        'password' => 'P4ssw0rd',
        'className' => 'Smtp'
    ]
