I am using the latest PHPMailer version but again same error

Have you perhaps considered reading the docs that tell you how to diagnose and resolve this issue, that you have now been pointed at 3 times?

I have tried all the ways but the issue is the same
Works in local but does not work in live

So why haven't you posted the results of your tests in here that show it's a problem with PHPMailer rather than your hosting? If your hosting provider blocks outbound SMTP (which is quite likely), there is nothing I can do. There is nothing I can suggest here that's not in the docs.

this error should be display from my testing

That's the error that shows that it's failing to connect, not tests that will show why. What happened when you tried to use the openssl command line client? What results do you get from DNS and connectivity tests?

This is a project in core-PHP and I work in Cpanel

[Synchro]

PHP is PHP. That you're running it in a way that means you can't debug it is your own problem. Unfortunately, cpanel makes many things difficult and confusing. There's really nothing I can do if you don't understand your own hosting, and it has nothing to do with PHPMailer.

Even if there is a problem in hosting, this error "SMTP Error: Could not connect to SMTP host. Failed to connect to server" comes?

[Synchro]

Set $mail->SMTPDebug = 3; and post the output here.

Set $mail->SMTPDebug = 3; and post the output here.

I have set please check

Yes, it's a problem with your hosting, not your script or PHPMailer.

This is the important part of the error output:

Connection failed. Error #2: stream_socket_client(): unable to connect to ssl:https://smtp.gmail.com:465 (Network is unreachable)

"Network is unreachable" means that your hosting provider is blocking your outbound SMTP traffic, so PHPMailer can't work. This is what it says in the docs. It also tells you what to do in that situation, which is either ask them to stop blocking it, or find a better hosting provider.
