I have this problem - Outlook 2016 doesn't accept password or app password - and i think it is a growing World wide Microsoft problem :-(
See also here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Outlook/comments/19dx64p/outlook_2013_windows_10_suddenly_not_accepting/Outlook gives me this: (startede yesterday)
I have 2 PC's with HOTMAIL accounts in Outlook 2016 ...
They both have this error.
I do get mails ... but I can´t send mails. Yesterday it did work for 1-2 hours ... but right now the error is there all the time :-(
Please help me.
Thanks in advance

For those who use Microsoft clients (Outlook 20xx, Mail) that support MS Active Sync accounts: your problem could be solved with the following settings:
Account type:
First option: MS Active Sync
Second option (if the first one does not work): MS Exchange
login: ******@outlook.com / ******@hotmail.com (your email address)
password: Microsoft account password (Application password could be OK too, at least, it works for me)
server: outlook.live.com (this is a most important part: this server still supports TLS 1.0, all other servers support only TLS 1.2)
domain: outlook.com / hotmail.com, depending on email address. Empty domain is OK too.
SSL: Yes
What's the address to send the list of impacted accounts?
GREAT INFORMATION.
Maybe now the snarky rude comments extoling the virtues of "third party developers" who haven't really fixed it will go away.
Well, maybe not...
