If you aren't getting any messages, then tell the smtp object you want some:

From TFM (https://docs.python.org/3/library/smtplib.html#smtp-objects):

  An SMTP instance has the following methods:

   SMTP.set_debuglevel(level)

      Set the debug output level. A value of 1 or True for level
      results in debug messages for connection and for all messages
      sent to and received from the server. A value of 2 for level
      results in these messages being timestamped.

If all else fails, fire up wireshark and watch the conversation
between the SMTP object and the server.
