As I knows, it's allowed and I tested that with 2 different apps, the thing is you will lose the ability to receive and approve via the Notification and you can only use the Code to authenticate in 3rd party apps.
Hope that will help.
Cheers

To check:
Go to myaccount.microsoft.com
Choose Security Info From the left panel, this should redirect you to security-info, here you can see all Authentication methods used.To Add the Auth App:
In Security Info page click Add method > choose Authenticator app > Add
Choose I want to use a different authenticator app " as shown below" > next > next > scan the QR or enter the code manually in your app.

Just Add the Microsoft Authenticator App first, then remove the other, however having another verification method is recommended before deleting the app.
Cheers,
