 * Hi, Have you tried with a different port number (it might be blocked on your 
   server)?

 * Hi
 * Even i had faced the same problem. Looks like SMTP has been blocked by server.
   You can try this “WordPress Mail Bank – Best PHPMailer & SMTP Mailer”. It worked
   for me.
    1) Goto settings of the plugin 2) From Name : Your Company Name 3) From
   Email : Your Company Email 4) Mailer Type : Use the PHP mail() function to send
   emails 5) Return Path : Checked 6) Word Wrap : 50 Save the changes and send test
   mail
 * Thanks
    Alpha
