Connection refused is pretty clear. Something is stopping outgoing
connections from reaching smtp.gmail.com.
You didn't specify whether thunderbird and django running on the same
machine - are they?
If you go to a console on the machine where django is running, and
type in "telnet smtp.gmail.com 587", you should get an output like
this:
> $ telnet smtp.gmail.com 587
Trying 173.194.67.108...
Connected to gmail-smtp-msa.l.google.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 mx.google.com ESMTP 9sm82106435wid.2
If not, you must have a firewall somewhere between that box and google
that is refusing the connection.
