I had a similar problem, it turned out that the error was being caused by ModSecurity installed on the cpanel. Disabling ModSecurity did the trick for me. In my research, I came across similar problems that were caused by security modules on their servers like this case that was caused by All in One Security and Firewall.

Had a 500 Status Code as well when submitting my Contact Form 7. Somehow the file "class-phpmailer.php" in "wp-includes" had a filepermission of "0". I have no idea why. But i fixed this issue by changing the files permission to 0644 and now my Contact Form 7 works well, again.
