Android - Outlook - device administrator problem

I want Outlook on my private phone so I can read work emails, this hasn't been a problem in the past but now Outlook wants me to lock my phone using a approved password. The weird thing is that Outlook on my workphone still works like normal, and that phone is pattern locked, not meeting workplace password requirements at all?

    Yes, I previously had the same issue in Windows (which I haven't been able to resolve to this day--I don't know what exactly they installed, but it's deep inside the system for sure), and now on my phone it keeps adjusting the screen time out settings from 5m to 30s. How can it be that this app has been installed without my permission? I never allow apps to change settings in Android. Please inform us about this app.
