The sample file actually gives smtp.office365.com
as the SMTP server. Perhaps you mistakenly copied from the IMAP or POP entries?
This server definitely does work, but you're correct that Microsoft have updated their guidance. I suspect this is fairly recent – Thunderbird still uses the old server, for instance.
23d3b4a updates this and also adds another account example specifically for Outlook accounts given your experience with scope values. Thanks for the pointers here.
I just found myself having troubles with my 1st SMTP send to outlook. I looked in my config file - copied and edited from the sample. It shows the following hostname: outlook.office365.com. This does not match what is shown here (and what I have set up in my email client): smtp-mail.outlook.com. I do not know if this applies to everyone. Mine is a normal, personal-use Outlook account (previously Hotmail).
