Hi @Roger Roger ,  

By my experiments, below are the Powershell commands and results you need to create contact:

New-MailContact -Name "Test User1" -ExternalEmailAddress "SMTP:test.user1@contoso.com" -Alias "test.user1.external" -DisplayName "Test User1" -FirstName "Test" -Lastname "user1" -OrganizationalUnit "OU=Contacts,DC=contoso,DC=com"
