Alex,

AUTHentication requires that you also have a username+password pair.
What if you don't? 
Plus GG is saying that it's mail being sent to him, not by him. It's a little confusing reading what he's saying.

Looks like a configuration error from your side

'Please turn on SMTP Authentication in your mail client”

Just enable the authentication and it should work

 

Regards
