StephanBrisson  so far I have had mixed results on IOS12 devices.  On one of the first devices the native mail asked for a password.  I created an App password.  Would not accept it.  So I found an article online which suggested just deleting that account and adding it back, leaving whatever contacts and notes were already on the device. That took care of it.  On my iPhone I just entered the app password.  But then on my iPad that would not work, so I just removed the account and added it back.

    Jim Hill It's supposed to work with Modern Authentication/OAuth, without the need to use an app password. Needing an app password for email on a phone for all users that are on MFA is absurd in 2019. It's supposed to be best practice to turn on MFA for all users these days, but Office 365 MDM doesn't support it? I'm astounded this hasn't gotten more attention.
