Setting MFA requres you to generate an App Passord for Outlook 2016, please see:

I know app password isn't the only way.
My iphone 10 mail client allows me to sign in with my password and then I get a text with an MFA code and enter that in when adding my company account. My last company, used MFA with outlook 2016 without using app passwords. It worked after enabling modern auth in exchange.
I assume that because my iphone mail client doesn't require an app password that modern auth is already enabled. So why is my outlook client that I just downloaded from O365 today requiring app passwords. There has to be a setting.
Also, is there a way to use the microsoft authenticator instead of text. Texts don't always come through in a timely maner.
Your setup requires passwords. An app-password is a valid password. It never expires, thus not ideal. When you are asked for the password, you either give it the never-expiring app-password, or your normal one. In your case, when you give it the normal one, MFA kicks in. (An App-Password replaces MFA and was a work-around for apps that did not work with MFA). I suspect your old iPhone Mail app knows your App-Password, thus never asking for it.
You can setup more verification methods (authenticator, etc). Go to … https://MyApps.Microsoft.com, click on your photo, go to profile, go to Additional Security Verification.
