There seems to be a lot of confusion about the Teams meeting Outlook add-in. To be able to use the add-in you need to have a subscription that includes an Exchange mailbox. If you for example are using Teams free with a personal subscription, not including Teams/Exchange, it will show up in your Outlook client but it will not work.
You don't add a "Teams account" to Outlook to get it to work. You simply use your Outlook account with the above prerequisites and the meeting add-in will not only show up but you can also use it as you're on a business/enterprise subscription which has full Teams functionality (including Exchange mailbox).
The add-in also must be enabled by your admin if you're using it in an org. This page has very detailed information about the Teams meeting add-in for Outlook. Usually people are being helped by going to the sections "Other considerations" and "Troubleshooting".
