I have tried your code and it works fine for me(with my credentials). Did you tried by disabling the firewall or antivirus? what the inner exception says?

Steps to disable:

Windows XP Firewall

Windows 7 Firewall

Antivirus

Try setting the enableSsl="true" on the network tag like so:

<network host="smtp.gmail.com" enableSsl="true" defaultCredentials="false" 
    port="587" userName ="myn@gmail.com" password="pass@123" />
