Look at your logs mail server(the one which answer on tcp port 25) if there's something interesting in it...

Yes it is. Actually I took the reference of an ansible documentation site for this writing above script. Here is the ref. screenshot  from ansible documentation.

If so, what the logs says ?

I'm not sure you understand what is daemon listening on port 25 ?

Hii

Please post actual text output instead of unreadable screen dumps.

The playbook is about *sending* mail. That went perfectly fine as you
can see from the output.
The *receiving* part is something different, there can be many reasons
why this didn't work. You need to look into the systems that are
involved further down the line.
Your local SMTP server will be a good place to start looking, but that
is off-topic for this list.
