Does anyone have any ideas?
What are you trying to achieve?
If you want to send mails to mailtrap then I guess MAIL_DRIVER should be smtp.
Also add your credentials. When you go to mailtrap you will see settings which you need to change for Laravel app.
If not, then explain.
@bugsysha Thanks bro for replying i want to send in log file but give this error which i don't understant
Also when i'm send to mailtrap with it's require field also get this error
Try deleting all from .env with MAIL_ prefix and only leave MAIL_DRIVER=log.
The mail service should work out of the box once you created a laravel project, did you make any change on the config file or any core file? Suggest that create a new laravel project to test out whether is the particular project problem or your system problem....
I have a fix for this guys:
I had the same problem and spent countless hours looking for an answer. I hope that I can help the community of developers by sharing the solution to the swift_transportexception connection issue. Here it is...
Make the following adjustment to your .env file:
MAIL_DRIVER=sendmail
MAIL_HOST=YOUR_DOMAIN.COM
MAIL_PORT=465
MAIL_USERNAME=YOUR_EMAIL@YOUR_DOMAIN.COM
MAIL_PASSWORD=YOUR_PASSWORD
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=ssl
MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS=YOUR_EMAIL@YOUR_DOMAIN.COM
MAIL_FROM_NAME="${APP_NAME}"
Make sure your DNS records is set to: MX - @ - mail.YOUR_DOMAIN.COM - Priority 0
If I have helped you solve the bug, please let us know by up-voting this answer to help others find peace.

Thankyou !
@Newton76 Thanks this did it form me
If you are using Mailtrap, just log in to your Mailtrap account, and copy and paste the Laravel SMTP settings into your .env file:
MAIL_MAILER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.mailtrap.io
MAIL_PORT=2525
MAIL_USERNAME=yourmailtrapusernamekey
MAIL_PASSWORD=yourmailtrapupasswordkey
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls
For those of you stumbling in here, also take note that MailTrap will invoke throttling (rate based on account level) if you send too many emails at one time which can cause connection errors.
I know it's old topic but maybe someone is still struggling with this. Instead of MAIL_DRIVER=log u should set MAIL_MAILER=log
