That’s a problem with the email server, it doesn’t support secure communication over TLS. You have a few options here: you could either turn off ‘secure’ and bite that bullet, determine if there’s a different way to inject to that that’s more secure and supports TLS, or use a managed email service like sendgrid, mailgun, or my employer - sparkpost (assuming that your target email addresses are accessible from the outside).
