My microsoft365 email quit sending - gets SMTP AUTH errors
My Thunderbird Office365 email quit sending. It happened about 2 weeks after I installed Ubuntu 20.04 on my system. I think it was coincident with an update of the system. My other emails work fine. It tells me the auth failed because "SmtpClientAuthentication is disabled for the Tenant." Thunderbird has a limited number of SMTP authentication methods, and I tried them all. I went to the page the error recommends, and it is for exchange servers. I have microsoft365 from GoDaddy. Any help would be appreciated.

Here is most of the log, minus most of the startup handshake.

Solved. GoDaddy enabled SMTP auth on the account and it sends now.
