Looking at the bluehost, it doesn't look like they have their own SMTP server. Looks like they are partnered with office 365 if you pay for one of the larger packages, and at that its only included for a month before you have to pay Microsoft too.

if you do go that route, you can use the microsoft email account as your login, and use microsofts SMTP server.

Why not use a provider like mailgun. They arent that expensive (of course depending on how many mails you plan to send)

or sendgrid.. Seems they have a free tier
