Enable-RemoteMailbox -id user1.test1 -RemoteRoutingAddress "******@contoso.mail.onmicrosoft.com" -alias user1.test1
I would set the alias to match the SamAccountName
in the above syntax -id user1.test1 is it samaccount name?
yes, you can a few items for the identity, but NOT display name
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/exchange/enable-remotemailbox?view=exchange-ps
-Identity
The Identity parameter specifies the identity of the existing on-premises user. You can use any value that uniquely identifies the user. For example:
ADObjectID
GUID
Distinguished name (DN)
Domain\Username
User principal name (UPN)
LegacyExchangeDN
User alias
