I've tried changing the port, smtp auth type, smtp security but nothing seems to work. the attachments are screenshots of the outgoing mail settings page.

my moodle site has SSL and so does the mail server but when I change the port to 465 the server simply refuses connection. The web hosting service providers say this problem is beyond their scope and have declined to offer any help/assistance.

my moodle site's version is 3.3.1

It says wrong crendentials. One way of checking them is to configure Thunderbird to send mail through this SMTP server.
