the email cannot be sent. make sure the outgoing e-mail settings for the server are configured correctly

Here is step you need to configure the Outbound SMTP Server with powershell

Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell
$SMTPSvr = 'mail.contoso.com'
$FromAddr = 'noreply@contoso.com'
$ReplyAddr = 'noreply@contoso.com'
$Charset = 65001

$CAWebApp = Get-SPWebApplication -IncludeCentralAdministration | Where { $_.IsAdministrationWebApplication }
$CAWebApp.UpdateMailSettings($SMTPSvr, $FromAddr, $ReplyAddr, $Charset)
