David,
  Microsoft has no intention of disabling basic auth from smtp .
Per 
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/clients-and-mobile-in-exchange-online/deprecation-of-basic-authentication-exchange-online
"SMTP AUTH will still be available when Basic authentication is 
permanently disabled on October 1, 2022. The reason SMTP will still be 
available is that many multi-function devices such as printers and 
scanners can't be updated to use modern authentication. However, we 
strongly encourage customers to move away from using Basic authentication 
with SMTP AUTH when possible. "
