I believe it's an important issue that these things can be handled quite differently in different companies and institutions. I happen to have two Office365 accounts through two different institutions. One required OAuth2 with multi-factor authentication already a few years ago, whereas the other one disabled password-based access to IMAP and SMTP only two weeks ago. I have not yet explored in more detail how (dis)similar these two institution have setup Office365.
