Answer 1

try with $mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls';
See full example at PHPMailer's gmail example below: https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer/blob/master/examples/gmail.phps

Answer 2

Make sure you include correct PHPMailer Library.
And make this changes
Some Servers not response for SSL(Secure). So that change this $mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls';
And In your code you have two Mail sending option $mail->send();
//$mail->send();//Comment this
if (!$mail->send()) {
echo 'Messag could not send';
echo 'Mailer error:' . $mail->ErrorInfo;
} else {
echo 'mail hasbeen send';
}
Now either mail sent Or either It will print Error log
