Nodemailer SMTP host throws error

SO im doing a project for myself and when creating a transporter the host throws the following error
No overload matches this call.
The last overload gave the following error.
Argument of type '{ host: string; port: number; service: string | undefined; auth: { user: string | undefined; password: string | undefined; }; }' is not assignable to parameter of type 'TransportOptions | Transport'.
Object literal may only specify known properties, and 'host' does not exist in type 'TransportOptions | Transport'.ts(2769)
index.d.ts(77, 17): The last overload is declared here.
(property) SMTPConnection.Options.host?: string | undefined
and my code is

 require("dotenv").config()
import nodemailer, {Transporter} from 'nodemailer'
import ejs from 'ejs'
import path from 'path'

interface EmailOptions {
    email:string,
    subject:string,
    template: string,
    data :{[key:string]:any}
}

const sendMail = async (options: EmailOptions) : Promise <void> => {
    const transporter : Transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
        host : process.env.SMTP_HOST as string,
        port: parseInt(process.env.SMTP_PORT || '587') ,
        service: process.env.SMTP_SERVICE ,
        auth : {
            user: process.env.SMTP_EMAIL,
            password: process.env.SMTP_PASSWORD,
        }
    })
    const {email ,subject , template , data} = options

    //get the path to the email template
    const templatePath = path.join(__dirname, '../mails', template);

    //render the email template with ejs
    const html:string = await ejs.renderFile(templatePath,data)

    const mailOptions = {
        from : process.env.SMPT_MAIL,
        to: email,
        subject,
        template
    }
    await transporter.sendMail(mailOptions)
}

export default sendMail

Start with the nodemailer.createTransport call and compare the supplied object with the Nodemailer TypeScript definitions referenced by the error. Verify the corrected transporter configuration by checking that the code type-checks and that transporter.sendMail can be called with the shown mail options.
