But login data is correct

Do you use 2-factor authentication with your account?

@mwittig Not sure can I check this somehow?

I simply type my user and password online at Google.de nothing else

You can check this at https://accounts.google.com
From there you can check which from which device logins have been requested (Geräteaktivitäten) and check the method of authentication (Bei Google anmelden).

Here is my config I have been using for testing

{
      "plugin": "mail",
      "transport": "SMTP",
      "transportOptions": {
        "service": "Gmail",
        "auth": {
          "user": "xxxxxxxxxx@gmail.com",
          "pass": "xxxxxxxxxx"
        }
      },
      "to": "xxxxxxxxxx@gmail.com"
    },

Only one way authentication. But still the issue can’t send email

@temp I have no idea. It works for me.

Great! Thanks for letting me know!

I’ll add a note as part of the README.
