Hello all,
What I could suggest here is using an SMTP plugin for your WordPress site.
That way you will be able to specify an SMTP server with authentication which your emails would be going through. You could for example use Gmail’s SMTP settings. This would drastically increase the delivery rate of your emails as well compared to using plain PHP mail.
I’ve been using this plugin for a while now and it works very well: Easy WP SMTP
Hope that this helps! Regards, Alex

By default DigitalOcean blocks sending emails from droplets, if your issue is not resolved as described by @Aprexer then you must create a support ticket to lift the block.
Hope this helps.
