Outlook for Android will not authenticate when adding my account on a new Pixel phone - msg 'error during authentication, please try later'

Question

New Google Pixel 9 ProXL, data transferred from Samsung Android. When setting up Outlook mobile, and adding my existing account, it errors and shows a small box with 'Error during authentication, please try again later'.

I can easily sign into that account on an ipad, and windows PC, so the credentials are correct.
