Cant setup outlook account on Iphone

Hi, I have been trying to setup my hotmail and outlook accounts to my new phone and neither of them work. For my hotmail account, Im getting UNABLE TO VERIFY ACCOUNT INFORMATION and for my Outlook account (work email) when I insert password (as I did a copy from my old phone)I get the same message. I tried setuping up from scratch, go to outlook options and now it says the account doesnt exist
