To do this, run the https://testconnectivity.microsoft.com/, Go to Outlook Connectivity and input the credentials. Perform test and check the results the analyzer give you to further troubleshoot the issue.
I also await the test on a new PC.

if i test the connectivity i get this at some points
Attempting to test potential Autodiscover URL https://mydomain.com:443/Autodiscover/Autodiscover.xml
Testing of this potential Autodiscover URL failed.
and this a bit after :
The Microsoft Connectivity Analyzer is attempting to retrieve an XML Autodiscover response from URL https://mydomain.com:443/Autodiscover/Autodiscover.xml for user email address removed for privacy reasons.
The Microsoft Connectivity Analyzer failed to obtain an Autodiscover XML response.
