All but = I did all aside from one thing

Metallica plays all but gospel. They are able to play every type of music on earth but NOT the gospel you hear into the church

Anything but = you are not this at all or whatsoever

You are anything but smart

You are ALL but NOT smart

Everything but is pretty much the same of the second one or everything with the exception of

it depends on the context and the sentence in which you have to use one or the other
