docker-gitlab: SMTP doesn't work and no way to debug

IMHO you really need some sort of test process for SMTP configuration.

In my case I have tried STARTTLS as well as SSL for SMTP and am not getting anywhere.

Outbound messages are supposed to be getting delivered…

Sent mail to user@host.com (60140.2ms)
Sent mail to user@host.com (60130.0ms)
Sent mail to user@host.com (60142.5ms)

… but the emails never arrive, and there appears to be no means to debug the problem.

Testing the very same SMTP credentials using Mozilla Thunderbird, emails are delivered fine to the very same recipients.

I am testing with Notify.test_email('xxx@xxxx.me', 'Message Subject', 'Message Body').deliver_now, and got these errors:
