if no resolve verify with your email provider there is no current issue with the SMTP server—that would be out of your control. Server side issue tend to get resolved by the host fairly quickly, so try at a later time and test.

I was having this and all kinds of other apparently intermittent connection issues with various email accounts. Having tried everything else, I realised that I had recently (when installing Monterey) turned on Notes syncing in those accounts. Turned it off again and all email connection issues have disappeared. Hope helpful.
