the reason was the provider's settings that prevents sending using smtp function of PHPMailer

Maybe try another port. According the allknowing wikipedia, port 587 helped me with smtp-sending mails through 1blu.de (a german hoster). Now it works like a charm.

That usually happened to me when the SMTP server connection settings were wrong. Please, in the settings page can you activate debug and send a test message. It should print the whole connection attempt!
