Making a Outlook Group with an Existing MS Team
There is no "other way" because every Team already has a Group behind it. You simply need to "unhide" it as Microsoft recently introduced a change that removes any such groups from the Outlook view. Use this:
Set-UnifiedGroup teamxxx -HiddenFromExchangeClientsEnabled $false
Now I suppose it depends on where you created the group initially, but that's the general idea.
Microsoft has https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public/suggestions/18706228-prevent-team-from-showing-in-outlook-global-addres a change in how Office 365 Groups are handled by default in Exchange Online.
Check out this blog post which talks about this change in detail:

VasilMichev Thanks very much for the help. I'm not quite smart enough to follow how to change that setting.
Where would I go to do that?
Cheers,

You need to connect to Exchange Online PowerShell, then execute the cmdlet: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/exchange/exchange-online/connect-to-exchange-online-powershell/connect-to-exchange-online-powershell?view=exchange-ps
VasilMichev I did create it in teams.

HiddenFromExchangeClientsEnabled: $false
