It is working with these parameters (PORT - 587, AUTHENTICATION - “login”):

```plaintext
  ## TODO: The SMTP mail server used to validate new accounts and send notifications
  DISCOURSE_SMTP_ADDRESS: pap.serveriai.lt
  DISCOURSE_SMTP_PORT: 587
  DISCOURSE_SMTP_USER_NAME: robo@magved.lt
  DISCOURSE_SMTP_PASSWORD: topsecret
  DISCOURSE_SMTP_ENABLE_START_TLS: true # (optional, default true)
  DISCOURSE_SMTP_AUTHENTICATION: "login"
  DISCOURSE_SMTP_OPENSSL_VERIFY_MODE: none

```

Email provider gave wrong port and authentication parameters.
