Describe the Bug

When creating a user and selecting the option to send an invitation by email, I got an error like 'An unknown error occured'.
Checking the logs, I have this :

[2022-01-17 16:54:45] production.ERROR: Expected response code 220 but got an empty response {"userId":5,"exception":"[object] (Swift_TransportException(code: 0): Expected response code 220 but got an empty response at /srv/bookstack.santepros.com/BookStack/vendor/swiftmailer/swiftmailer/lib/classes/Swift/Transport/AbstractSmtpTransport.php:447)
[stacktrace]
#0 .........

So I think my email configuration is broken right ?
But the problem is that the user was created anyway, without the assigned role/roles and without the 'user_create' log.
Maybe we could wrap this in a transaction, wdyt ?

Steps to Reproduce

Break your bookstack email sending config
Create a user with email invitation
Normally you will get an error but the user is created if you look at the user list

Expected Behaviour

I think the user creation should fail entirely and maybe report a log entry with a high severity like : 'email sending failed' ?

Screenshots or Additional Context

No response

Exact BookStack Version

21.12

PHP Version

7.4

Hosting Environment

Ubuntu 20.04

@Julesdevops I have not started work on this. Feel free to look to address, although I have assigned to the next patch release. If I start to wrap up the next patch release, and there's no PR, I may take this on myself.
