I an running Windows Server 2016 Essentials and have been send a daily "Health Report" to my Office 365 email address for years. Yesterday I implemented multi factor authentication on that email account and as expected the automated "Health Report" emails now fail to send. I do not see any way in Server 2016 to get around this issue. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I haven't specified MFA, but now that Microsoft 365 requires "Modern Authentication", the settings in Windows Server 16 Essentials do not provide any way to change the default authentication protocol. This needs to be fixed at the server end.
