You cannot, that's the whole idea of having MFA - the login attempt must be interactive. Either ask your admins to exclude your account from the MFA requirements (bad practice), add a trusted IP/range so you don't get prompted (better practice) or configure the device as Azure AD Joined (best, as you can use PRT, which counts as MFA). If the idea is to run scripts automatically, use the method outlined here instead: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/exchange/app-only-auth-powershell-v2?view=exchange-ps

Exchange Online uses Azure AD for authentication mate, you can use the PRT to connect to Exchange Online PowerShell. In fact, there's a special parameter for that:

Connect-ExchangeOnline -UserPrincipalName ******@domain.com
