Description
When using the communication services to send emails using the python SDK, it's not possible to use the managed identity authentication.
The type-hinting specifies either `AzureKeyCredential` or `TokenCredential`, both of which are "password-based", which we want to avoid, for obvious reasons, especially when Azure is pushing for managed identity authentication on all services.
