   Confirmed.  I setup Thunderbird and forced it to use basic authentication and   
   I was able to send messages about via SMTP:   
      
   mailnews.smtp: Sending message

   Thunderbird by default wanted to use OAuth2 to log in which brings up a   
   separate webpage where you would log in with your username, password and   
   presumably 2FA/MFA if you had that enabled.   
      
   So it would appear if we could set the From email address then AOL & Yahoo   
   (and sendgrid) would work, but longer term it appears that OAuth2 would need   
   to be implemented which would also allow GMail to be used again:
