Answer 1

There can be many things which can go wrong in your condition. I try to list all possible options:
Try port 465 instead of 587 as Gmail normally uses that one.
Check if port is blocked on your live server.
Login to your gmail account( mygmail#gmail.com ). Go to https://myaccount.google.com/security , Scroll down till bottom of page. In right you will see: Allow less secure apps, make sure that option is on.
I hope it helps
