I configured Wordpress with the GMail SMTP
Already config the Google App Settings.
The email is a GSuite email.

Hello,
Does this plugin have a log that shows you what happens when trying to send an email? Have you tried enabling WP_DEBUG?
define('WP_DEBUG', true );
define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true );
define( 'WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false );
@ini_set( 'display_errors', 0 );
After this try to send an email. Then navigate to /wp-content and check for a debug log file.
cd /var/html/wp-content
ls -l
cat debug.log
It might be worth trying a different plugin. This one has always worked well for me. Even has a FAQ entry for setting it up with Google. https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/
Hope this helps.
