Specific senders and sender domains are easy to block, but it sounds as if you want a defence that will react to the random substitution of any letter in a genuine domain for a number in a typosquatting domain.

What you really want is something that works with domain reputation, and that's either not in the product or is in the proprietary parts that Microsoft do not talk about, far less reveal, to customers.

Rather than make a change to your policy that affects your entire organisation, add a separate policy higher up the table that only applies to a handful of brave test users and experiment on them. You can also use that to document any training materials or advice notes before going live.
