Those settings look insufficient given that Google SMTP server uses
authentication, so you need to also supply a username and password.
Also, port 587 is for STARTTLS, so you are required to enable that as
well, but that's kind of irrelevant when you cannot supply auth
details.

connecting to an SMTP server.
You would have to implement your own EmailSenderProvider, and deploy
this as a module, to send mails via Google's SMTP servers.
