I was able to send an email successfully using the yahoo smtp setting you have there. Looks like the SSL and TLS configs you have is incorrect. Please fix those property names as described in https://docs.alfresco.com/activiti/docs/admin-guide/1.5.0/#emailServerConfiguration and try again.

email.ssl=true
email.tls=true
