Can't get Thunderbird Android to work with my outlook365 account

I use Thunderbird Android with my private smtp account, now I want to use it with my outlook365 company account, but when I install, after loggin in it says "need admin approval". The admin can't find where or what to approve. I tried Microsoft help which gave me copilot, but it points me to non-existing settings.

Anyone knows how to configure Thunderbird Android with Outlook365?

the issue was resolved by the admin by providing the right application-id for Thunderbird Android to the Outlook settings.
