But you did not provide SMTP Data especially which port settings and security level (SSL) you are using and some providers only allow SMTP connections from certain (own) email addresses. So there is no more to say than “Your provider denies to use their SMTP gateway” and in fact the problem is either with your settings or with your provider.

It seems that your provider only allows certain apps to use their SMTP server. Turn to your provider, since it doesn’t seem to be a problem of LibreOffice but your SMTP provider.

The LO e-mail seems to be dysfunctional. If you use the wizard, it tries to access you default e-mail client and fails. However, if you use the use the ‘send-email’ button, the 4th in this illustration, LO uses it’s own mail handler and it works.
