I have managed to make it work.
What worked for me was to login to google in a browser, when it prompted to choose between G-Suite and Individual I choose Individual and then it asked to create / rename the account, but instead of our company domain it was locked to gmail.com.
Then when I tried to login to my email account on workspace it logged in without prompt to choose between accounts, then I added my mail to outlook and it is working wonders.
This is not an option for me as Google requires SMS verification for this personal account and it is linked to a phone number I don't own for 10 or more years and does not give me any other way to login to the personal account. So far this has not be a problem at all as I use only the G-Suite account and as far as I understand the personal account is practically unusable as I would have to change the username anyway.
However, the real problem is the Outlook implementation of the embedded browser - why in 2022 it is still IE 11, while the browser used for the Outlook Add-Ins is Edge (Microsoft Edge WebView2 at the moment). Both browsers are embedded into the same desktop software (Outlook).
