Can't send Yahoo Mail. Was working fine until this afternoon. Getting error: Login to server smpt.mail.yahoo.com with username xxxx@yahoo.com failed. Using Thunderbird 115.11.1 (32-bit). Can someone help? Thanks!

Generally error messages contain a reason or reason code. Not just failed. Are you sure that is all there is the the error dialog?

No error message. After clicking to send, it takes a very long time for the failed pop up.

Server works if I login to Yahoo Mail as I'm able to do that. Issue with Thunderbird login. Any ideas?

sing web mail uses none of the yahoo IMAP or SMTP servers, so you are not compering apples with apples.

However if the delay is measured in minutes it may be a timeout is happening where the server is simply not responding, or you have software (antivirus usually) that is blocking the connection and seeing abnormal activity. Firs up a cold restart of your computer and any modems or routers is a good idea.
