I even tried just initializing the SMT server and sending the email (without authentication) as indicated in https://docs.adacore.com/aws-docs/aws/working_with_mails.html.

you have to change mail server:

  Isp :=
        SMTP.Client.Initialize
          ("smtp.gmail.com", Port => 465, 
           Credential             => Auth'Unchecked_Access);

don't use gmail, use your provider mail server ...
