Research direction
Start from the Add account flow described in the reproduction steps and trace how mail.ru credentials are checked when the password field is submitted. Compare the current behavior with mail.ru's required application-password or OAuth flow; done means a mail.ru account can be added successfully instead of receiving the authentication error.
