You get that error because the password is probably wrong. I think Hotmail requires an 'app password' for working with email clients. This link may assist: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/account-billing/manage-app-passwords-for-two-step-verification-d6dc8c6d-4bf7-4851-ad95-6d07799387e9

But that password worked for years and I did not change it. Also that password works on all my other devices and other email programs- just not on that one particular email in Thunderbird
