What are your settings? They suggest smtp.virginmedia.com, 465, SSL/TLS, normal password, email address.

Create an app password and use that in TB instead of the account password. Remove the entries for the account from Saved Passwords in Settings, restart TB, enter the app password when asked for a password.
