Research direction
Start by reviewing the authentication change described in nextcloud/mail#7722 and reproduce the connection flow for an @bildung.gv.at account using outlook.com. Trace why the Microsoft authentication popup or redirect is not reached, then verify that the account connects successfully with XOAUTH2 instead of reporting invalid credentials.
