Forgot password system using Gmail & Laravel 8

I am using built in laravel 8 login system with its scaffolding have a project that has a forgot password for its login system which sends email from request. I'm trying to use gmail and xampp for sending the email . I am unable to send an email using the gmail account, So I tried configuring my .env and other configuration files in xampp. But I get the following error upon sending the request

Swift_TransportException Connection could not be established with host smtp.googlemail.com :stream_socket_client(): SSL operation failed with code 1. OpenSSL Error messages: error:1408F10B:SSL routines:ssl3_get_record:wrong version number

Could someone tell me why I'm getting this error and what should I do to get rid of this? Thanks a lot
