If app passwords are enabled, you can just do that
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/create-an-app-password-for-microsoft-365-3e7c860f-bda4-4441-a618-b53953ee1183

If your org's policy doesn't support app passwords (which will get
phased out sometime in 2021, I think), there's no current option, but
see the recent threads on mutt-devel mailing list about Office365 and
XOAUTH2.

There's been some recent work towards adding support for the less
preferred / older way that MS is supporting it:
http://lists.mutt.org/pipermail/mutt-dev/Week-of-Mon-20200615/000839.html

Doing this will require that this work be released, as well as the use
of an external script / tool.
