Unable to resolve NULL driver for [Illuminate\Mail\TransportManager] Laravel 6

Question

I'm trying to send an email using a Laravel Mail, following everything on the documentation, below is my mail.php

'default' => env('MAIL_MAILER', 'smtp'),

'mailers' => [
    'smtp' => [
        'transport' => 'smtp',
        'host' => env('MAIL_HOST', 'smtp.mailgun.org'),
        'port' => env('MAIL_PORT', 587),
        'encryption' => env('MAIL_ENCRYPTION', 'tls'),
        'username' => env('MAIL_USERNAME'),
        'password' => env('MAIL_PASSWORD'),
        'timeout' => null,
    ],

    'ses' => [
        'transport' => 'ses',
    ],

    'mailgun' => [
        'transport' => 'mailgun',
    ],

    'postmark' => [
        'transport' => 'postmark',
    ],

    'sendmail' => [
        'transport' => 'sendmail',
        'path' => '/usr/sbin/sendmail -bs',
    ],

    'log' => [
        'transport' => 'log',
        'channel' => env('MAIL_LOG_CHANNEL'),
    ],

    'array' => [
        'transport' => 'array',
    ],
],

and tried just using the php mail by setting up on .env mail part to NULL

MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=localhost
MAIL_PORT=1025
MAIL_USERNAME=null
MAIL_PASSWORD=null
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=null
MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS=myemail@domain.com
MAIL_FROM_NAME="${APP_NAME}"

and tried to send

Mail::to('drako@domain.com')
->bcc( app('config')->get('mail')['bcc'])
->send(new Get_a_quote($data));

if(count(Mail::failures()) > 0){
    return false;
}else{
    return true;
}

but my attempt returns an error

Unable to resolve NULL driver for [Illuminate\Mail\TransportManager].

any help, ideas is greatly appreciated.

In your env these fields are required `MAIL_USERNAME`, `MAIL_PASSWORD`, `MAIL_ENCRYPTION` — STA, Jun 29 '20 at 14:59
@STA hello, I intend to use the built in php mail instead, see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43525560/how-to-configure-laravel-mail-php-to-use-built-in-mail-function tried on my other laravel project, its working. — Juliver Galleto, Jun 29 '20 at 15:02
Change `MAIL_DRIVER=smtp` to `MAIL_DRIVER=mailgun` and try again — STA, Jun 29 '20 at 15:04
`MAIL_DRIVER=sendmail` documentation here https://laravel.com/docs/6.x/mail#introduction — STA, Jun 29 '20 at 15:14

You need to replace the MAIL_DRIVER with MAIL_MAILER in your .env file.
