First off gmail is only restricted to sending to other gmail accounts if that is the way you set it up. Now if it was the only option available then you might have something that is too old to support TLS or whose site certificate has expired you may have to use a relay software such as Stunnel.

We use gmail regularly for our customers. The only thing you need to do is turn less secure apps on, and if they don't scan regularly, show them how to do that as gmail will turn that back off. Gsuite, or whatever they call it now, is another animal, as it by default requires 2 factor authentication.

We use them for all our MFP emails and create a custom customer email for each machine we install.
It's a good sales pitch and it ensures we get our meter and supply alerts if FMA goes offline.

You are asking for trouble by continue to use the less secure apps setting. Google has been trying to totally eliminate use of less secure apps for nearly 2 years now. The only reason that it is still available is the disruption that SARS-CoV-2 has caused in the economy. Originally they planned on removing their port 25 SMTP server aspmx.l.google.com needed for less secure apps on February 15 thus year. The last I heard is that they have delayed that move for 1 year.

I suggest that you learn how to properly administer Google Workspace. Google Workspace is what is replacing Gsuite. FYI, mail.google.com, where you access your gmail account, is a stripped down version on Google Workspace. Learn how to smtp-relay.gmail.com.

I didn't say we were using aspmx.l.google.com, I said we were using standard gmail, ports 465 and 587. If they're planning on ending support for these that would be news to a lot of people.

Then you don't need to enabler less secure apps.

Speaking of hosting, can anyone recommend reliable services for web hosting? I really need it for my project

Try asking your internet service provider.

Look at Google, Microsoft, or your ISP as a first step. For a business critical system, don't rely on a free service. You want an SLA and actual performance metrics, not just best effort.
