try testing your server connection to several different mail servers, example

telnet domain.com 25


in this example it you can't connect 173.194.202.27
connect to alt1.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com[173.194.202.27]:25: Connection timed out

it could be that your outgoing emails are blocked by your provider.

*** Don't allow that your server or website is down, choose hosting provider with included expert managed support for your CWP.

[root@srv1 centos]# telnet domain.com 25Trying 13.228.112.135...telnet: connect to address 13.228.112.135: Connection timed out


You are correct, telnet can't connect to port 25. I think aws blocked this port from their end, even I add firewall rules it is not working.
I'm tiring to find a way to unblock this. Thank you for the update.

For the benefit of other users..

AWS blocks outbound traffic on port 25 (SMTP) of all EC2 instances and Lambda functions by default. If you want to send outbound traffic on port 25, you can request for this restriction to be removed.

Even they say EC2 and Lambda functions, Lightsail is also the same. So we have to request them to unblock the port. But they always try to sell the Simple email service. So no point talking to them, but you can try..
