I saw no mention of an "app password" in your description and research.
From what I could find researching O365 it is possible to setup an "app
password" if 2fa has been enabled and administration has allowed it.
Then it is used as a simple password entry as in years past, no need
for OAuth2 settings.

This can be done with Gmail too, which is how I've been using it of
late (enabled 2fa and then generated an app password to use).

If you haven't explored this I'd try searching on "o365" "app password"
for some more info on what to try doing to set this up...
