Expected response code 220 but got an empty response in laravel 5.6

Question

I am using mailgun with laravel 5.6 to send email but its return error( Expected response code 220 but got an empty response). The following is my all file settings.

.env FILE

MAIL_DRIVER=mailgun
MAIL_HOST=smtp.mailgun.org
MAIL_PORT=587
MAIL_USERNAME = postmaster@domainname 
MAIL_PASSWORD = password
MAILGUN_DOMAIN = domainname 
MAILGUN_SECRET = key
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls

mail.php File

<?php

return [

     'mailgun' => [
        'domain' => env('MAILGUN_DOMAIN'),
        'secret' => env('MAILGUN_SECRET'),
    ],
    'ses' => [
        'key' => env('SES_KEY'),
        'secret' => env('SES_SECRET'),
        'region' => 'us-east-1',
    ],
    'sparkpost' => [
        'secret' => env('SPARKPOST_SECRET'),
    ],
    'stripe' => [
        'model' => App\User::class,
        'key' => env('STRIPE_KEY'),
        'secret' => env('STRIPE_SECRET'),
    ],
];

services.php File

<?php

return [
    'driver' => env('MAIL_DRIVER', 'mailgun'),
    'host' => env('MAIL_HOST', 'smtp.mailgun.org'),
    'port' => env('MAIL_PORT', 587),
    'from' => ['address' => 'aakanskhi.cuminte@gmail.com', 'name' => 'Aakankshi Gupta'],
    'encryption' => env('MAIL_ENCRYPTION', 'tls'),
    'username' => env('postmaster@domain'),
    'password' => env('mailgun password'),
    'sendmail' => '/usr/sbin/sendmail -bs',
    'markdown' => [
        'theme' => 'default',
        'paths' => [
            resource_path('views/vendor/mail'),
        ],
    ],
];

    public function testmail(){
       $user = User::findOrFail(8);
       Mail::send('emails.test',  ['user' => $user], function ($message) {
       $message->from('us@example.com', 'Laravel');
       $message->to('aakankshi.cuminte@gmail.com')->subject('Your Reminder!');
     });
    }

When I run the code it gives me following error message:

Swift_TransportException Expected response code 220 but got an empty response

How do I resolve this error message?

php artisan config:cache

How this could work? How config:cache is related with whatever? It is only cache. I expected config:clear. – Čamo Jun 07 '21 at 11:09
I believe `config:cache` also runs `config:clear` – Barry D. May 14 '22 at 18:17

For Mailgun only you have to specify the following fields in .env file, that's it.

MAIL_DRIVER=mailgun

MAILGUN_DOMAIN=XY.mailgun.org

MAILGUN_SECRET=key-XYZ
