TBird can't authenticate on Microsoft hotmail SMTP
After recent update to Thunderbird 115.11.0, I can't send emails through my hotmail smtp server.
Error message: Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent because the connection to Outgoing server (SMTP) smtp-mail.outlook.com timed out. Try again.
I read the Thunderbird update for 2024 information that recommends changing Normal Password to OAuth, but OAuth is not an option on the drop down list of methods. (see attached)
How do I fix this? Thanks

Use smtp.office365.com and the OAuth2 option will appear:
