Bug Description

Ubuntu 22.04.4
evolution-ews 3.44.0-1
gnome-online-accounts 3.44.0-1ubuntu1

Earlier I could add outlook.com to gnome calendar with exchange in Gnome online accounts and evolution-ews installed, now Microsoft has changed something and it does not authenticate anymore..

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/outlook-and-other-apps-are-unable-to-connect-to-outlook-com-when-using-basic-authentication-f4202ebf-89c6-4a8a-bec3-3d60cf7deaef

It's not very long to the release date for 24.04 LTS, and I hope this is fixed before that..

In evolution it does ask for outlook.com password and I use the right password, nothing happens, other than it just asking for password again.. edit: I got a error message now (see screenshot in comment #1)

edit 10.3.24: upgraded to Ubuntu 23.10 and it still does not work
