I suspect that this is a mismatch in properties populated by the different routes used to create the team. The HiddenFromExchangeClientsEnabled property controls visibility for Outlook clients. Creating a MIcrosoft 365 group implies that you want to access it with Outlook, so the flag is set to false.
