Configuration of outgoing and incoming mail log is done under:
System > System support> Logging and profiling

https://support.yamnet.com/secure/admin/ViewLogging.jspa

Click Enable in that section to make sure debugging is enabled (this will write logging messages for all outgoing mail to the log).

Now on Jira's file system, you'll find that log in

<jira-home>/log/atlassian-jira-outgoing-mail.log
