Hello:

I use Thunderbird for work. I have several email accounts configured in it, including Gmail, my company's email, and Outlook. I recently added a new Outlook account, and I haven't been able to send a single message. The error I'm receiving is the one described in the title. It's worth noting that I have another Outlook account working perfectly. I've tried every solution I've found online, and none of them have worked, including enabling SMTP in the account settings, making sure OAUTH is enabled, using smtp.outlook.com or smtp.office365.com instead of smtp.mail.outlook.com, enabling two-factor authentication, changing my password multiple times, etc.
