SMTP/Sending Emails just stopped working

Hi there - been using Thunderbird for donkeys (since it was Eudora!). A few weeks back I started to get messages from Microsoft that I needed to change security settings as they were no longer supported on 3rd party email handlers like Thunderbird. So I re-created the three accounts I had there and it seemed to be OK, though SMTP did not have the OAUTH2 option available ... and when I tried to use the new SMTPs they wouldn't work. So I reverted to the old settings there and it worked again.
But this morning, with the big update to Thunderbird Nebula, I can no longer send emails from the MS accounts. My Gmail one is still OK ... but whatever I try, I cannot get the MS ones to send emails - I get a failure connecting.
Login to server smtp-mail.outlook.com with username xxxxx@hotmail.com failed.
I checked on MS and the details shown there:
SMTP server name smtp-mail.outlook.com SMTP port 587 SMTP encryption STARTTLS Authentication Method OAuth2/Modern Auth
Are what I have (I did have a different SMTP Server name came up - smtp.office365.com - but that doesn't work either)
So ... where is the issue? Is this a bug in the new Thunderbird setup? Something else? I don't know where to go ...
