This my email.service.ts
import { Injectable } from '#angular/core';
import { Headers, Http, Response } from '#angular/http';
#Injectable({
providedIn: 'root'
})
export class EmailService {
constructor(private http: Http) { }
sendEmail(name, email, message) {
const uri = 'http://localhost:4200/support/contact';
const obj = {
name: name,
email: email,
message: message,
};
return this.http.post(uri, obj);
}
}

You should not use two ports on contact.js and the port 465 is the port secure so replace:
port: 465,
secure: false,
port: 25,
auth: {
user: 'email',
pass: 'pass'
},
tls: {
rejectUnauthorized: false
}
for:
port: 465,
secure: true,
auth: {
user: email,
pass: pass
}
On the variables email and pass you should set the email and password of account who go sent the email (I recommended create a new email account just for the form contact because gmail accounts by default not allows clients login without set up DMARK e DKIM) and always make sure to keep this informations out of public code repositories like GitHub.
You can see a similar code who I did on my github: https://github.com/anajuliabit/my-website-backend/blob/master/src/Controllers/ContactController.js
