Have you downloaded the latest version of PHPMailer? If yes, what is the exact error?

Another post was made by admin, stating that OpenSSL or whatever has been changed, and apparently broken all PHPMailer, try using some other software

PHPMailer Suddenly Stopped working

We upgraded OpenSSL on our servers a few days ago. This may have resulted in SSL for SMTP breaking. I’m going to do some investigation into this. The provided SMTPOptions are a good workaround until then. Please note that you should AVOID such SMTPOptions as much as possible, because fixing SSL issues by disabling most SSL security features is NOT a good solution.

will it work with TLS, and can you suggest some other software?

[HaydenANG]

No, I believe the issue is with using TLS/ssl which rely on OpenSSL, try seeing the below article;
