The key word here is 'relay.' The server cannot authenticate either your sending email id or the recipient id. I suggest you check your SMTP server setting to see if you have provided proper email address.

Many email providers are increasing security checks, so there may be something that needs to change in your settings. Possibly, if you post a screenshot of your SMTP settings, someone here may have suggestions.
