"message": "Connection could not be established with host smtp.mailtrap.io :stream_socket_client(): unable to connect to smtp.mailtrap.io:2525 (Connection refused)", "exception": "Swift_TransportException",

env file:

I have run following commands also but the same issue :

php artisan config:clear 
php artisan cache:clear 

Please help to solve out my issue.

Error shows that you are trying to connect to smtp.mailtrap.io, check your mail.php config - Yurich
@Yurich : should i change this value : 'host' => env('MAIL_HOST', 'smtp.mailgun.org') in mail.php, i have set MAIL_HOST=smtp.sendgrid.net in env file - user3653474

I had the same problem and spent countless hours looking for an answer. I hope that I can help the community of developers by sharing the solution to the swift_transportexception connection issue. Here it is...

Make the following adjustment to your .env file:

MAIL_DRIVER=sendmail

MAIL_HOST=YOUR_DOMAIN.COM

MAIL_PORT=465

MAIL_USERNAME=YOUR_EMAIL@YOUR_DOMAIN.COM

MAIL_PASSWORD=YOUR_PASSWORD

MAIL_ENCRYPTION=ssl

MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS=YOUR_EMAIL@YOUR_DOMAIN.COM

MAIL_FROM_NAME="${APP_NAME}"

Make sure your DNS records is set to: MX - @ - mail.YOUR_DOMAIN.COM - Priority 0
