Andrew is the winner. I did (not from that machine that does not have
Xwindow or web browsers), and made sure less secure authentication was
on, it was.
however what I needed to do is go to
https://accounts.google.com/DisplayUnlockCaptcha
After going through that (from another IP), then the new IP finally got
whitelisted.

Yes, that was enabled. I'd also be happy to use ASPs, but google does
not allow using ASP anymore if you aren't also using a security key,
which was not possible for a shared role account.

Yes, I did get the alert, it just gave me no clue or hint as how to
authorize that IP in the future.
https://accounts.google.com/DisplayUnlockCaptcha
is the magic answer, and it's a bit hidden.
I also wasted a lot of time because exim changed in a way that Mail -v
did not show that exim was doing STARTTLS anymore (when in fact, it did)
Thanks much,
Marc
