    From the Mail menu bar, please select

              Window ▹ Connection Doctor

    Look for the outgoing mail (SMTP) account in the window that opens. Double-click it. Another window will open, showing a list of all the outgoing mail accounts. The affected one will be selected. Make a note of the settings. Click the minus-sign button to delete it, then click OK.

    Add the account back with the same settings.
