The 554 Access denied error occurs when the IAM user does not have the necessary permissions to send emails using Amazon SES. A few things you can check:

Make sure the IAM user has the required IAM permissions. At minimum they need the 
ses:SendEmail
 or 
ses:SendRawEmail
 actions.

Check if a sending authorization policy is attached to the email identity or domain. This can block the IAM user from sending.

Verify the Resource element in the IAM policy matches the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the email identity.

Check for any restrictive Organizations service control policies (SCPs) attached to the IAM user or account.

You can also try creating a new IAM user specifically for Amazon SES and attach the 
AmazonSESFullAccess
 managed policy. Then generate a new access key for this user and use it to send emails.
