Gmail doesn't allow to use SMTP in a classic way (normal auth with/without encryption). You may need to ask your sysadmins for XOAUTH2 keys and try to pass that git send-email through an SMTP thing like msmtp. A faster solution would be to make the patches with git format-patch and then send a manually created email with the patches attached.
