Well, that pretty much rules out a DNS or network issue and points to something in Evolution.  But, since I don't use that I don't have a suggestion other than to say "double check your settings".

FWIW, I have a test system and set up Evolution to use my gmail account and it works fine for me.

When you set up your gmail account in evolution did you allow it to automatically set up the settings?

The server needs to be "smtp.googlemail.com" using port 465 and you need to check the box for "server requires authentication".  Also need to have encryption set to "SSL on a dedicated port" and use an Authentication type of Login.
