Outlook for Mac stopped sync with Exchange, creating new account creds error where Webmail works

Question

A user called in that her Outlook for Mac stopped syncing at 9:20 am. Her iPhone and webmail work well. We removed the account in Outlook for Mac and tried to add a new (and only account). It failed with a credential error and an invalid user. It doesn't even show the MS password window.

Webmail/outlook.com works online as well as on the phone.

Creating an Apple Mail also works (although with cert errors).

Latest macOS, latest O365 Outlook (March 18, 2024)

Answer 1

The switch to the new Outlook (eventually) worked. The day before, the same switch from legacy to new didn't show errors. I tried again, and everything is working. Thank you all for the supporting responses.
