You missed this variable :

$mail->SMTPSecure = "tls";

OR

 $mail->SMTPSecure = "ssl";

Try one of them.

Don't just add random stuff to your code in the hope that it will help! The only one of those requires you need is the autoloader. Base your code on the gmail example provided with PHPMailer, or at least the basic example provided in the readme.

From the error message you can see exactly what the problem is - while you have set Username and Password properties, you have disabled authentication. Enable it like this.

$mail->SMTPAuth = true;

You're also using an old version of PHPMailer, so get the latest.

thanks a lot...@Snchro...Its work perfectly....thanks for your consideration.... :) — Madhi, Dec 21 '16 at 10:33
