Since EE ceased its email service on 31 May 2017, EE does not provide any SMTP server for sending emails from your own domain or email addy.
You will need to ask, or look online, whether your domain host or email provider provides their own SMTP server as well POP3 and/or IMAP servers. You may have to also take their email package or at least pay extra for their SMTP facility because some suggest, & others insist, that you use your ISP's SMTP server, which you cannot do here.
In most cases email providers will provide an SMTP server on at least one of the following ports:
In all cases they will usually require authentication to be the same as for the Incoming Server, i.e. your normal own domain email username & password.
In the extreme, you could experiment with the above combinations until you find one that works.

Even the free web based email services like Gmail, Outlook/Hotmail, GMX and the like can be used to send email from your own domain name but, as @XRaySpeX points out, it's insecure.
I have 4 domain names that I keep active, I used to have many more, and have a hosting package that gives me secure connections, but felt it was worth mentioning the 'free' way.
