No, it is not required by Brevo. I have deleted it and tried again, but it still is not working.  
I am wondering if “authentication=login” is correct. In the standard settings, there was no DISCOURSE\_SMTP\_PASSWORD variable. I added this myself.

This is what I see in the Discourse settings (Admin area)
