Failing to send email from Ubuntu 20.04- probable password issues

[arundhatid]

I am trying to install smtp-cli in CI/CD pipeline in a container. I wrote following code in a bash script.

sudo apt-get install -y git

sudo git clone https://github.com/mludvig/smtp-cli.git

sudo apt install  libio-socket-ssl-perl  libdigest-hmac-perl  libterm-readkey-perl \
libmime-lite-perl libfile-libmagic-perl libio-socket-inet6-perl libnet-dns-perl

sudo ls -l smtp-cli

sudo chmod +x smtp-cli/smtp-cli

sudo /smtp-cli/smtp-cli --verbose --host myserver.mail.domain.com:587 --enable-auth --user '[email protected]' --password 'somepassword' --from '[email protected]' --to '[email protected]' --subject Test email from smtp-cli

Following is the output
