It should work, at least it worked one year ago - Email notifications not working

This is not so practical idea in the current world.

You need to create a unique email account app password for this to work. Go to: Settings > Office 365 → Security & Privacy > Additional Security Verification > App Passwords.

Office 365 SMTP server settings:

  • SMTP Server address: smtp.office365.com
  • SMTP Port number: 587 with TLS
  • Authentication: Required
  • Username: [your Office 365 email address]
  • Password: [your app password]

Is that still possible? It has been announced that this would be deprecated several times already. On our Office365 app passwords no longer work.

When you need to send e-mail only to a single domain (a single mail address or some mail addresses in one domain) you can lookup the MX host for that domain and send the mail there (port 25, no authentication).
Of course only when your ISP does not block port 25.

If the Microsoft 365 Security Default settings are enabled on a tenant, you can still create an App Password after you set up MFA on the user account or Shared Mailbox. BUT, authentication with the App Password doesn’t work if the Security Default settings are enabled.

Maybe this will change in the future IDK, but I haven’t seen any notice about it in the O365-E3 admin channel from Microsoft. We use plenty of App Passwords to send monitoring alerts to shared mailboxes.

I think they disable app passwords for everyone who is not using them.
But at some time at least for IMAP I am sure it no longer worked. And our mobile phone users with some app also could not login and had to be migrated to Outlook app.

Are you sure you tested it on an Exchange account with MFA enabled?
