Sounds like you need to ask hostgator what the proper settings are.

As you can see, the code is totally unrelated to HostGator, but I advised to use Web service provider's SMTP, please see my answer.

This would be a good question to ask HostGator customer support, but they may not take the liberty to answer you if you are using "smtp.gmail.com". Usually (if not always), Web hosting provider provide access to their own SMTP or other service and provide the users with separate accounts (pretty often unlimited number of then or limited by some sufficient number of accounts). They take responsibility for their service functionality and mush try to answer you questions if they are relevant to their service. So, I would advise to use the services of your Web service provider, HostGator or any other one.

Go without customer support. Don't they have instructions on using main on the Web site? What are you looking for? Anyway, just try it. Some other HostGator users who knows what to do better? This is not very likely. :-)
