sounds like you need to double check that you indeed have the "proper" setting.

"Someone" changed it? Usually, that someone would be you, unless you share
your Windows login with other people.

Outgoing (and incoming) server address changes are usually the result of
having a third-party antivirus scanner looking at mail as it enters and
leaves. Uninstall your AV program and reinstall it without the mail scanning
feature.

Stop sharing your Windows login account. Make accounts for the other users.

Some anti-virus programs change the e-mail settings in Outlook so they point
at their transparent proxy. They want to interrogate your e-mail traffic
but this is superfluous protection. Disable the e-mail scanning feature of
your anti-virus software, or uninstall it and do a custom install without
the e-mail scanner.

Sending doesn't work for the reason specified in the error message that you
chose to not divulge here. Go to the e-mail provider's web help pages to
get the "proper setting".
