Any error? Google first to get more understanding; i speak from experiences, asking somebody and getting the correct answer is easy and it gets you to your goal. But you will not understand how and what and the next time you will have to ask again.

Thank you, let me follow on
This is not possible, i need an alternative
See :

It’s possible port 25 is closed for external uses for new accounts. There are a few ways to go about the problem
- Use ports like 465 or 587 for SMTP
- Contact DigitalOcean’s support and ask for the block to be removed. You’ll need to provide a reason why it should be done.
Stopping spam is a constant fight, so DigitalOcean has implemented some restrictions on newer accounts. Having said that, you can always contact them and ask for the port block to be lifted on:

An alternative would be to find an other hosting company (not ideal because you already payed to digitalocean)

To expand more on blocking port 25 for new accounts, this is something DigitalOcean has been doing to reduce spam on it’s network. It is more that we simply cannot accurately determine who is going to send it.

Why not? They say they can on their website, so why can't they?
Lots of companies now close port 25 by default and people have to ask to open them. Contabo is indeed a good choice.
Opened a contabo account and got an ip which is not blacklisted, now the issue is on sending mails to gmail accounts, am getting this error
