Hi dear adnan first of all please change the [email protected] to real Gmail account. And make your that email you are using not have setup 2 step authentication or any security.....
And the second please remove bactick from MAIL_FROM_NAME=""`
After all don't forget to clear cache
Run: php artisan optimize:clear

yes, It's not working after removing the option by google. But nothing to worry! It's still very simple to send email. To send email again you need to do this as bellow:
- Login to your gmail account e.g. myaccount.google.com afaik
- Go to Security setting and Enable 2 factor (step) authentication
- After enabling this you can see app passwords option. Click here!
- And then, from Your app passwords tab select Other option and put your app name and click GENERATE button to get new app password.
- Finally copy the 16 digit of password and click done. Now use this password instead of email password to send mail via your app.
Now you can use just email and this generated pass to send email.
