reset password does not work with mailgun configuration - authentication

Question

I configured laravel 5.1 according to mail docs. Sending mail works fine.
Next step was to add the reset password according to resetting passwords docs. Here I struggle to send the link to the reset-password formular.
Seems like the function to send the reset mail is not triggered. I checked as well with the config/mail.php configuration pretend = true;. There was no entry in the logfile, that a email was send.
Somehow its as well hard to debug, as I could not find the function where the reset email is triggered.
How do I send the reset password with mailgun?
Where is the function locate to send the reset password, or where can I overwrite it, to test it?
This are my configurations:
.env
# ...
MAIL_DRIVER=mailgun
MAIL_HOST=smtp.mail.org
MAIL_PORT=587
MAIL_USERNAME=null
MAIL_PASSWORD=null
MAILGUN_DOMAIN=mg.foo.com
MAILGUN_SECRET=key-foobar.etc
# ....
config/service.php
//...
'mailgun' => [
'domain' => env('MAILGUN_DOMAIN'),
'secret' => env('MAILGUN_SECRET'),
],
//...
config/mail.php
// ...
'driver' => env('MAIL_DRIVER', 'smtp'),
'host' => env('MAIL_HOST', 'smtp.mailgun.org'),
'port' => env('MAIL_PORT', 587),
'from' => ['address' => 'foo#test.com', 'name' => 'foo'],
'encryption' => env('MAIL_ENCRYPTION', 'tls'),
'username' => env('MAIL_USERNAME'),
'password' => env('MAIL_PASSWORD'),
'pretend' => false,
// ...
app/Http/routes.php
// ...
Route::group([
'prefix' => LaravelLocalization::setLocale(),
'middleware' => [ 'localeSessionRedirect', 'localizationRedirect' ]
], function() {
//Route::controllers([ 'password' => 'Auth\PasswordController', ]);
// works only if the user is logged out!!!1
// Password reset link request routes...
Route::get('password/email', 'Auth\PasswordController#getEmail');
Route::post('password/email', 'Auth\PasswordController#postEmail');
// Password reset routes...
Route::get('password/reset/{token}', 'Auth\PasswordController#getReset');
Route::post('password/reset', 'Auth\PasswordController#postReset');
});
//...
resources/views/auth/password.blade.php
#extends('layout')
#section('content')
<div class="container">
<form method="POST" action="/password/email">
{!! csrf_field() !!}
#if (count($errors) > 0)
<ul>
#foreach ($errors->all() as $error)
<li>{{ $error }}</li>
#endforeach
</ul>
#endif

Incorrect routes was the problem. The example from the docs did hardcode the action value in the form element.
This did not reflect my routes configuration. With the following changes the password reset email works:
app/Http/routes
// change route to a named route
// Route::post('password/email', 'Auth\PasswordController#postEmail');
Route::post('password/email', ['as' => 'password.email', 'uses' => 'Auth\PasswordController#postEmail']);
resources/views/auth/password.blade.php
<!-- Use the named route in the form builder and remove csrf_field -->
{!! Form::open(['route' => 'password.email']) !!}
