  1. Are you using Mail Extension 3.6?
  2. Do you see any error in Application log?
  3. Are you able to connect from your TWX server using telnet?
    telnet smtp.gmail.com 465
  4. You said it was working before but still could you please confirm that your gmail account is enabled to allow less secure apps?

I want to correct something for point 4.

If your Google account has Two Factor Authentication enabled (2FA), you can not enable or disable that setting.

Instead, you will need to create Application Specific Passwords  and use those as your password (a common behavior with almost all the third party systems that use 2FA today, GitHub, Azure DevOps etc).

And yes, I do know that I did not change my password from 2014.

Two step verification is off already.
