You don’t need to do any port forwarding for email.

The container connects out to GMail servers. It doesn’t run an email server itself.

You need to make sure you’ve enabled support for “less secure apps” in your Google account. There’s a comment in the config.env file to that effect:

## IMPORTANT: DO NOT USE SPECIAL CHARACTERS, SPACES etc. Please use only
## alpha-numeric (ie A-Z a-z 0-9) passwords of around 16 characters. The
## random generator linked above will give you something suitable.
##
## If you're upgrading an existing installation, be sure to use the correct
## password for the cms user account in the MySQL database (ie what you had in
## this variable previously).


MYSQL_PASSWORD=


## SMTP Server Configuration
## The CMS needs to be able to send email to you
## Please enter credentials for a suitable SMTP server
## Defaults will work for GMail - replacing your GMail username
## and password as appropriate. You will also need to enable access
## for less secure applications on your GMail account for this to
## work. See https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255


## SMTP Server Hostname
CMS_SMTP_SERVER=smtp.gmail.com:587
## SMTP Username

Your username for Gmail will be your Gmail email address, (ie othername@gmail.com, not just othername)
