Based on your reply you can try Enabling Out-of-Office Replies in Office 365:

• Log in to the Microsoft 365 admin center as a global or exchange admin.
• Navigate to Exchange Admin Center.
• Go to Mail Flow and select Rules.
• Click on the "+" sign to create a new rule.
• Name the rule something like "Out-of-Office Auto-Reply".
• Under "Apply the rule to messages", choose Sent or Received depending on your preference.
• Under "Conditions", select Specific recipients and add the email address of the user who wants to set up out-of-office.
• Under "Do the following", select Reply with a specific message.
• Compose your out-of-office message and click OK.
• Turn on the rule and save it.

Based on your reply you can try accessing the automatic replies feature through the Outlook Web App (OWA):

1. Log in to Outlook Web App at Outlook.com or Office.com
2. Click on the gear icon to open Settings.
3. Select ‘View all Outlook settings’.
4. Go to ‘Mail’ and then ‘Automatic replies’.
5. Toggle on ‘Turn on automatic replies’.
6. Set the start and end times for your automatic replies.
7. Enter your out-of-office message.
8. Save your settings.

another action: Update and Reinstall: Ensure that your Outlook app is up-to-date, consider reinstalling the app to see if that resolves any issues.

Thank you for your precious time. Have a nice day.
