I'm trying to send an email in Laravel using Amazon SES driver but keep getting this error:

> 
> "local.ERROR: exception 'Swift\_TransportException' with message
>  'Expected response code 250 but got code "530", with message "530
>  Authentication required "' in
>  /\*\*\*/vendor/swiftmailer/swiftmailer/lib/classes/Swift/Transport/AbstractSmtpTransport.php:383"
> 
> 
> 

in mail.php the driver is 'ses', in services I've set up the key, secret and region. Also checked .env to make all the data match, but still getting this error. I know that is not on the Amazon side because we have that very same account sending emails in another script, so I'm sure it's some wrong configuration in Laravel, I just don't know where else to look... help?
