Answer 1

In your env configs change your email encryption to like so: MAIL_ENCRYPTION=ssl This error is common with "laravel/framework": "^8.75" Most since the symphony swift mailer is outdated.

I ran into this bug too after pulling my project from version control and re-installing the packages afresh. The solution above solved my problem and from what I understand about the error is that the swift mailer is trying to open a tcp connection to your server using the smtp port but the connection is only allowed/support ssl://mail.yourdomain.com so that's why you get a timeout on that socket stream.

Hope my approach help solve your problem too.
