outgoing server issue

Are you having difficulties with both sending and receiving email on your iPad for this account - or just one or other?

If the problem affects both, has your email provider switched to using App Specific Passwords? If so, you will need to generate a unique password for your iPad email account - that will differ from your normal Account Password. As examples - AOL, Yahoo, Google, Microsoft all use App Specific Passwords when using anything other than their own email client Apps.

Whilst your Mac may not yet be affected, any change to the account set-up on the computer may trigger the change - without necessarily affecting other devices.

If you need to generate an App Specific Password, you’ll need to log-in to your Mail Providers account management webpage - using a web browser - and generate the Password from the appropriate account security page.

Use of a New App Password:

You may need to use a new app password. If you are using different devices, then you need one for each device. So, contact your eMail provider to find out how to get an App Password.
