On my iPad Pro, I am trying to get a login issue with my mail resolved. I get the message "No password provided for [account]. Please go to account settings and enter a password."
The thing is, I am IN Account Settings when I get this message! Is this a glitch or is it a misunderstanding on my part?

That’s an interesting question.
You show one of two places where that mail account’s password is required. The other place to check would be to tap the “SMTP” row shown in your screenshot, then the “Primary server” shown there. That will address your outgoing email password. What you’ve shown addresses your incoming email.

Use of an App Password:
Do you use an App Password? If so, try an App Password. See how AOL Uses it: As an example, here is how AOL uses an app password. You may need to use an app password. Go Here: Create and Manage Third-Party App Passwords - AOL Help
So, maybe you need to use a new app password.
