Are you using Trellis to provision your droplet? If so, you should be able to enter your SES SMTP information in this file:

github.com

roots/trellis/blob/master/group_vars/all/mail.yml

# Documentation: https://roots.io/trellis/docs/mail/
mail_smtp_server: smtp.example.com:587
mail_admin: admin@example.com
mail_hostname: example.com
mail_user: smtp_user
mail_password: "{{ vault_mail_password }}" # Define this variable in group_vars/all/vault.yml

And your password here:

github.com

roots/trellis/blob/master/group_vars/all/vault.yml

# Documentation: https://roots.io/trellis/docs/vault/
vault_mail_password: smtp_password

# Variables to accompany `wordpress_env_defaults` in `group_vars/all/helpers.yml`
# Note: These values can be overriden by `vault_wordpress_sites.*.env`
#
# vault_wordpress_env_defaults:
#   my_api_key: 'available to all environments'

And reprovision your server, and it should work after that.

I have done all of this and provision my server
ansible-playbook server.yml -e env=production
