In my case, I was running the script with sendmail on remote pc. After I logged in gmail account via browser (it asked to provide the security code), I did not get the authentication error anymore and the email with sendmail went through.

For gmail specifically, you need to enable "Less secure app access" on gmail; https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255?hl=en
