Description
RocketChat currently does not support the SMTP OAuth, only a basic SMTP auth, which is being deprecated in exchange online (https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/exchange/updated-exchange-online-smtp-auth-basic-authentication-deprecation-timeline/4489835).
Nodemailer has this feature implemented (https://nodemailer.com/smtp/oauth2).

Start by locating Rocket.Chat's SMTP configuration and its Nodemailer integration, then read Nodemailer's SMTP OAuth2 documentation linked in the issue. Done means Rocket.Chat can authenticate to SMTP using OAuth rather than only basic SMTP authentication, with the relevant behavior covered by the project's existing tests.
