I thought with gMail the UserID should be set to your full email address.  
i.e.  
[some.email@gmail.com](mailto:some.email@gmail.com)

The debug panel isn't the log. If you are on a pi type `node-red-log` in a terminal

You need to use an application password. Available via your google user security menus
