Joomla mailer API fallsback to PHPMailer if SMTP fails. It's possible your STMP isn't working in Joomla and you'd never know unless both PHPMailer and SMTP failed. For CB you need to make a minor adjustment to the SMTP configuration and include the port with the host. Below is example configuration using GMail.
Mailer: SMTP Server
SMTP Authentication: Yes
SMTP Security: SSL
SMTP Port: 465
SMTP Username: Your Google Username
SMTP Password: Your Google Password
SMTP Host: smtp.gmail.com
Note you may need to append the port to the host as follows.
SMTP Host: smtp.gmail.com:465
