In this scenario, preservation policy's should do fine! All mails/ changes gets saved so it wouldn't matter if the users tried to delete them! Also company routines to block user/ changing password and so on should be done in this cases!

Although, just as a sidenote on your question, Using third party backup tools - backups of mails can be done

Exporting to PSTs is hardly a backup as well, and can get you intro trouble especially if you need to meet compliance requirements. Use the hold functionality as already mentioned above. For "leavers", you can simply use the Inactive mailboxes functionality, which is free: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office365/securitycompliance/create-and-manage-inactive-mailboxes
