I fixed the same problem on my iPhone SE by removing the Exchange account and adding the account as Outlook.com instead. Seems to work so far and others have used this solution as well. I don't know the pros and cons of using Exchange vs Outlook.com though, maybe someone else can clarify that.

Starting with iOS 16.7.5 the old problem of the Apple mail client not being able to log in to Microsoft Exchange (outlook.com) resurfaced. It claims the password is incorrect. Neither updating the password nor removing and re-installing the account helps.

Any suggestions?
