Laravel sending mail

Question

I have problem with laravel mail, I configurate env file like this (ofc email and password i replace to my own email data):

MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
MAIL_PORT=587
MAIL_USERNAME=email@gmail.com
MAIL_PASSWORD=password
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls

run artisan function

php artisan config:cache

I create in controller method:

public function mailTest(  ) {
        $data = array('email' => 'email@gmail.com', 'nickName' => 'nickname');
        Mail::send('emails.test', ['data' => $data], function($message) use ($data) {
            $message -> from('mail@gmail.com', 'Administrator');
            $message -> to($data['email'], $data['nickName']);
            $message -> subject('Custom subject');
        });
    }

On my email account where from i sent message i have copy of this message in outbox (sent) folder but on second mail i don't receive this mail even in spam folder.

Can anyone tell what's wrong with this ?

PS. Sorry for my bad english

To send emails using Gmail SMTP you need to configure some settings in your Google account. Follow these steps.

Login to your Google account.
Go to the My Account page. Click the Signing in to Google link from Sign-in & securitysection.

Scroll down the Password & sign-in method section and turn Off the 2-Step Verification.

Scroll down the Connected apps & sites section and turn On Allow less secure apps.

I already have disabled 2-Step Verification and enabled "Allow less secure apps" — Morphi, May 19 '18 at 14:14
