EDIT
I'd like to point out more clearly what I addressed in my comments.
Namely, that the "proof" of non existence of a moment generating function of the lognormal distribution is wrong. Simply because a mgf exists and will be provided below.
The formula for a moment generating function in question is
$$g(t) = \int_0^\infty f(x) e^{t x}\,dx\tag{e1}$$
where the pdf of the lognormal distribution is given by $(1)$ below.
Now the general definition of a moment generating function (mgf) can be found in (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moment-generating_function) and reads
"The moment-generating function of a random variable $X$ is the expectation of the random variable $e^{t X}$, where $t\in \mathbb {R}$, and wherever this expectation exists "
Notice that it is just stated that $t$ is a real number but nothing is said about its sign.
Hence we look at $(e1)$ and ask when "this expectation exists".
The answer is that the integral must be convergent, and convergence of the integral requires $t\le0$. The case $t\gt0$ was already studied in the answers of others and was shown to violate the condiditon that the expectation exists (because the integral diverges). Hence the formula for $t\gt0$ does NOT define a mgf. And consequently it can't be used to "prove" that the lognormal distribution has no mgf.
Here is a true mgf for the lognomal distribution.
Letting $t=- s$ we assume that $s\ge0$ an write
$$g(s) = \int_0^\infty f(x) e^{-s x}\,dx\tag{e2}$$
Now since the $f(x)$ is positive and $e^{-s x}\le1$ we have $g(s)\le m(0) = 1$. Hence the integral exists and therefore it is a valid definition of the mgf.
Here's a graph of the mgf obtained by numerically integrating over $x$

The moments (calculated in my original post) are retrieved by the expansion
$$g(s) = 1+\frac{(-s)}{1!}m(1) + \frac{s^2}{2!} m(2)+...+ \frac{(-s)^k}{k!} m(k)+ ...\tag{e3}$$
Notice that this series is divergent and should be treated as a formal series which has to be cut off at some convenient point $k$.
It would be desirable to have a closed expression for mgf but up to now I have only derived some approximate formulae which are not very enlightning.
Original post
You can also start from the moments and ask which type of generating function could be possible and find that the standard mgf does not fit into this scheme.
The pdf of the lognormal distribution is
$$f(x) = \frac{1}{x \sqrt(2 \pi) } \exp \left(-\frac{1}{2} \log ^2(x)\right)\tag{1}$$
The k-th moment defined as
$$m(k) = \int_0^\infty x^k f(x)\tag{2}$$
is given by
$$m(k) = e^{\frac{k^2}{2}}\tag{3}$$
A moment generating function $g(t)$ would be a sum like
$$g_d(t) = \sum_{k=0}^\infty m(k) \frac{t^k}{d(k)} \tag{4}$$
where the denomintor $d(k)$ must be chosen so that the sum converges.
These examples
$$g_{d=1}(t) = \sum_{k=0}^\infty m(k) t^k\tag{5a} $$
$$g_{d=k!}(t) = \sum_{k=0}^\infty \frac{m(k)}{k!} t^k\tag{5b} $$
do not work in our case, as $\lim_{k\to\infty}{ m(k) /d(k)} \to \infty$, and hence the sums diverge for any $t>0$.
The second case corresponds to the standard definition of a mgf as the expectation value of $e^{k t}$. And here the sum diverges.
A somewhat unusual case would be
$$g_{d=k!^k}(t) = \sum_{k=0}^\infty \frac{m(k)}{k!^k} t^k \tag{5c}$$
Here the sum is convergent for any $t$ and the moments can be found from the $k$-th derivative at $t=0$. But this sum hardly admits a closed analytic expression.
