My mail is "rejected by server" when I try to send on my iPhone 8 or my iPad air. When I get to the outgoing mail server, it won't let me put in my "user name" or "password." How can I get it to give me that access?

How to set up outgoing mail server on iOS 12 mail? I read this article: Mail server settings for iCloud email clients at: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202304 After following the outlined steps, in Settings (setting up a new email account), I am getting the message "Cannot Send Mail -- The user name or password for smtp.mail.me.com is incorrect." (I also tried smtp.mail.com, with the same result.) I'm using my Apple ID and password -- what I use to log on here. This is on my iPhone 7, running iOS 12, in Settings ("New Account") for type 'other'. The incoming mail setup seems to work fine and I can get the same mail messages that I see via my computer's Mail app. But when I try to set up the OUTGOING MAIL SERVER (in Settings) on my phone, I get this error. What am I missing?
