Bugzilla can't authenticate to gmail

[Mike Ambrose]

Hi,
I followed the instructions for installing Bugzilla 5.0.6 on Ubuntu 22.0.4.  There was a little tweaking required for Apache but Bugzilla is now being served by an Ubuntu server.  The big problem is enabling email.  I wanted to use gmail as much easier than setting up our own SMTP server but it fails to authenticate.  Ufw is disabled.

  *   mail_delivery_method: SMTP
  *   mailfrom: new_gmail_address at gmail.com<mailto:new_gmail_address at gmail.com>
  *   smtpserver: smtp.gmail.com:465  (I also tried port 587)
  *   smtp_username: new_gmail_address at gmail.com<mailto:new_gmail_address at gmail.com>
  *   smtp_password: new_gmail_password
  *   smtp_ssl: On
I tested these settings using Thunderbird on the same server and it works. I also tried some things I found on the internet including changing the username spec to user, all to know avail.  The following is what Apache reports:

Does anyone  have an idea what is happening here?
