Sending mail with gmail

Having a problem getting Perch mails to send via gmail. I put in the settings and try to send the test mail in the admin and it just hangs. I've also made sure that less secure apps are enabled.

[Sun Oct 16 18:49:50.595461 2016] [fcgid:warn] mod_fcgid: read data timeout in 60 seconds, referer: https://www.website.com/admin/core/settings/email/

If I remove the extra gmail settings from config then the test email sends fine.

Here's what I'm using:

define('PERCH_EMAIL_FROM', 'user@website.com');
define('PERCH_EMAIL_FROM_NAME', 'Stephen');
define('PERCH_EMAIL_METHOD', 'smtp');
define('PERCH_EMAIL_HOST', 'smtp.gmail.com');
define('PERCH_EMAIL_AUTH', true);
define('PERCH_EMAIL_SECURE', 'ssl');
define('PERCH_EMAIL_PORT', 465);
define('PERCH_EMAIL_USERNAME', 'user@website.com');
define('PERCH_EMAIL_PASSWORD', 'password');

They are the same settings I use in a separate Perch installation, on a different hosting plan, which works fine, so that's leading me to believe it could be an issue with the hosting (Fasthosts) environment?

Thanks for any help/advice.
