Are you using a username & password to send through the SMTP server? 

Is there any consistent factor in when the error occurs?

I have plenty of people using CentOS6 without any issues.

Evolution 3.x needs the Gnome3 libraries - CentOS/SL/RHEL6 comes with
Gnome2.  You will need to recompile much of the Gnome infrastructure to
get the necessary libraries on your system.  It's not a 5 minute task
and I'm not sure it's even possible to get a functioning system without
root access.  RHEL6 doesn't have flatpack support so you can't even go
down that route.

I suspect your best bet is to ask if you can be upgraded to SL7 or
CentOS8
