We are happy to announce that now you can add Mail Contacts as guests in O365 Groups. This feature is fully deployed to First Release tenants & associated with Office 365 Roadmap ID 15043.
This was top requested feature in Guest Access. If tenant admins have enabled guest access, they don't need to do anything; End users will be able to add mail contacts just like they have been able to add guests before.
For more details here is the documentation: https://aka.ms/mailcntrelease
Update: 06/28: We are now 100% WW. Let us know if you are having some trouble using this feature.

Excellent, this has been a real issue previously. I hope it comes to my Australian based tenants soon.

We are in the process of releasing to 100% GA & we don't have exact timeline yet.
However, we are already out to 10%GA tenants.

Working like a charm for my *Standard Release client, thank you very much! This feature was a roadblock for us for 5 months. Glad to finally be able to convert all their remaining DLs to O365 Groups.
