The best way, if you require pure OAuth2, seems to be to hand off to msmtp rather than sending directly from Gnus, although that may trigger significant changes to your Gnus setup. There is good online material showing how msmtp works with OAuth2.
Of course if your mail system allows for app passwords (you may have to hunt around as the option is often not easy to find) that is easiest, and it's what I do. I haven't found a major provider that doesn't support app passwords (your mileage may vary).
