I do not have the option of changing the server, and when I did do the oauth it was rejected by MS.

Yes, you do have that option, change it to smtp.office365.com and then see if you have theOauth2 option. For input, if you cannot get Oauth2 to show, try changing incoming server to outlook.office365.com and then try for Oauth2.
