The code I use is to send attachments using Python is:

import smtplib from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart from email.mime.base import MIMEBase from email.mime.text import MIMEText from email import encoders ## FILE TO SEND AND ITS PATH filename = 'some_file.csv' SourcePathName = 'C:/reports/' + filename msg = MIMEMultipart() msg['From'] = '[email protected]' msg['To'] = '[email protected]' msg['Subject'] = 'Report Update' body = 'Body of the message goes in here' msg.attach(MIMEText(body, 'plain')) ## ATTACHMENT PART OF THE CODE IS HERE attachment = open(SourcePathName, 'rb') part = MIMEBase('application', "octet-stream") part.set_payload((attachment).read()) encoders.encode_base64(part) part.add_header('Content-Disposition', "attachment; filename= %s" % filename) msg.attach(part) server = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.office365.com', 587) ### put your relevant SMTP here server.ehlo() server.starttls() server.ehlo() server.login('[email protected]', 'password_here') ### if applicable server.send_message(msg) server.quit()

Hope this works for you. This works for me like a charm.

I changed SMTP server to imap-mail.outlook.com, also created an "app password" because I had two step verification enabled. Then this script works like a charm.
