Solution 1

In my mail client, my Gmail account uses port 465. Also, my username is my full address (with @gmail.com); I can't tell from your anonymized snippet whether you have done this. Also, does your SetFrom address correspond to your Username? (If not, I think you have to go through some sort of authentication process with GMail to convince it you "own" both accounts.)

Solution 2

I haven't seen this with GMail, but every so often Hotmail refuses to accept outgoing mail via SMTP until I log in through the web interface and solve a Captcha. Try logging into GMail via the web and see if you have the right password.
