Is there an existing issue for this?

I have searched the existing issues

Current behavior

The continue with email and sending the magic links fails with error on both admin and in hoppscotch app.

I have setup the environment variable like following:
MAILER_SMTP_URL="smtps://noreply@mydomain.com:password@mail.mydomain.com"
MAILER_ADDRESS_FROM='"From mycompany Hoppscotch" noreply@mydomain.com'

I even tried with MailCatcher like explained in this tutorial.
MAILER_SMTP_URL="smtp://host.docker.internal:1025"
MAILER_ADDRESS_FROM='"From my company Hoppscotch" noreply@mydomain.com'
I can see the MailCatcher ui running on 1080 port.

But I got following issue on hoppscotch admin app:
https://hoppapi.mydomain.com/v1/auth/signin?origin=admin 500 (Internal Server Error)
Error: Request failed with status code 500
at tu (index.8d42fd3d.js:67:8560)
at nu (index.8d42fd3d.js:67:8743)
at XMLHttpRequest.m (index.8d42fd3d.js:68:16
{"statusCode":500,"message":"Internal server error"}

The docker container shows the following:
