You might need to enable/open the required ports on your server (e.g. 587).

DigitalOcean Gmail Setting
I am using Digital Ocean
.env file
MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
MAIL_PORT=587
[email protected]
MAIL_PASSWORD=gmailpassword
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls
ran the following commands after this
php artisan config:cache
php artisan cache:clear
sudo service nginx restart
was able to make this work in the local environment. But in the production environment i am getting this error
Connection could not be established with host smtp.gmail.com [Connection timed out #110]

Already opened a ticket with Digital Ocean and problem solved. Emails are working now :) Thank you for your suggestion @haganjones.
