Comment:

 Nice to hear you were able to make it work on your installation.

 There are multiple reasons why outgoing mail doesn't work, depending on
 hosting server config and the mail server (MX) for the domain. Some need
 to set up SMTP. Hosting providers and server admins should ensure sending
 emails through phpmailer just work, even from non-existing addresses, at
 least wordpress@ or provide instructions and alternatives, IMO.

 Th WordPress community could provide better instructions and
 troubleshooting tips for sending emails on https://wordpress.org/support/
 even if there are plenty using Google.
