Hi Kiril,
you can try to use

Apply a Group Policy Object to prevent users from adding email accounts to Outlook. Depending on the Outlook version:
- For Outlook 2016, 2019, and 365, set HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\Options DWORD values DisablePOP3 and DisableIMAP to 1.

Disable the users from adding email accounts to Outlook. - Microsoft Community
