If anyone has run into the same problem, I have found that a user with a Microsoft account has never logged into the computer with a password. The first time he logged in with Microsoft Authenticator and then used his PIN each time.
So the solution was to log this user on the remote computer using the password first.

To ensure that Windows 10 Enterprise only uses the C: system drive for installations, you can modify the default installation settings by following these steps:
Create a backup: Before making any changes, it's essential to create a backup of your important data. Modifying system settings can be risky, so having a backup will help in case anything goes wrong.
Verify current drive configuration: Open the Disk Management tool by pressing Windows key + X and selecting "Disk Management." Ensure that the C: drive is labeled as the System partition and contains the Windows installation, while other drives are labeled as Data partitions.
Set default installation drive: Open the Settings app by pressing Windows key + I and navigate to "System" > "Storage." Under the "More storage settings" section, click on "Change where new content is saved." Set the default installation drive to C: by selecting it for each category (Apps, Documents, Music, Pictures, etc.). This will ensure that new installations are directed to the C: drive.

- I'm afraid this answer has nothing to do with the original problem - the impossibility of RDP connection using Microsoft Account. Maybe it should have been put in another thread
