 * I managed to solve it, however, my contact form is still not working.
    Which 
   setting should I have to put in my contact form 7? I understood that if mails
   wasn’t working throught contact form, by setting your plugin this will resolve
   the problems but I think I am missing something. Thank you in advance for your
   help.

 * The contact form plugin itself may be broken somehow. CF7 users reported problems
   several times already here on a forum.
 * Try to use the same email address in this options:
    1) WP Mail SMTP setting: 
   From email address. 2) CF7 plugin for a form FROM email address setting.
 * That may or may not help you, but worth a try.
