Send email from lumen - laravel

Question

I am using vue.js as my front end and Lumen as my api service. Now I need to send emails from lumen. This is what i did for this.
.env file
MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
MAIL_PORT=587
MAIL_USERNAME=********#gmail.com
MAIL_PASSWORD=**********
MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS=******#gmail.com
MAIL_FROM_NAME=Sample Email App
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls
and then edited the file bootstrap\app.php and uncommented the following lines.
$app->register(App\Providers\AppServiceProvider::class);
$app->withFacades();
Dotenv::load(__DIR__.'/../');
$app->withEloquent();
In the controller, I have used the following code
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Mail;
private function sendActivationEmail( $email = null ){
$email_sent = false;
if( $email != null ){
// send email
Mail::raw('Raw string email', function($msg) {
$msg->to(['tismon#gmail.com']); $msg->from(['x#x.com']);
});
}
return $email_sent;
}
Unfortunately, this is not working. Can anyone tell me where I went wrong ?

Register MailServiceProvider in bootstrap/app.php file
$app->register(\Illuminate\Mail\MailServiceProvider::class);
$app->configure('mail');
try adding below code to AppServiceProvider.php within register function
$this->app->singleton('mailer', function ($app) {
$app->configure('services');
return $app->loadComponent('mail', 'Illuminate\Mail\MailServiceProvider', 'mailer');
});
if not working After the above configuration, try Mail send function
Mail::send('user.emails.registration' , $data, function($msg) use ($to,$from,$subject)
{
$msg->to($to)->from($from)->subject($subject);
});
