Please show on screenshots how it must be there enabled?

@Michael M.
I have added te screenshots to the article, hope it may the article more informative.
As for the GastCGI issue, if you are using SELinux, check the following article: https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/213361389-Cannot-send-email-using-PHP-mail-function-Unable-to-rename-usr-local-psa-handlers-spool-messageXXX-file-Permission-denied
Followed article but still no email can be sent using php. Doesn't even show in the mail queue.
Hi @William Dugger,
Maybe the issue is related to the PHP script itself?
In order to check it, perform the next actions:
1. Create a file under the domain home directory with the following content:
<?php
mail('johndoe@example.com','hello','test mail function');
?>
2. Make sure that PHP support is enabled for the domain at the "Plesk > Domains > example.com > PHP Settings" page
3. Try to open the PHP script via a browser:
https://example.com/testfile.php
If the issue still occurs without any info in logs, it is better to create a request to Plesk Support for further issue investigation
I follow this and other steps for enable php mail() function with out smtp I have my messages in the queue but with proposed state, when I try to send them my maillog return this errors:

Any clue?
Hi @Pepe Castillo,
Maybe your mailbox-recipient is identified as a local instead of the external one
Take a look at this article:
Mail to external mail service is delivered locally
