“Microsoft hosted” refers to a scenario where an organization uses the cloud-based exchange server provided by Microsoft, using domains which resolve to the Microsoft cloud infrastructure (Office365). This includes using a custom domain which isn't owned by Microsoft but resolve to their cloud platform. These configurations typically require users to authenticate using OAuth2 via login.microsoftonline.com.

If the organization allows basic password authentication for their self-hosted instance, their users will be able to use Thunderbird’s new EWS support. NTLM support for Exchange accounts is not available yet in Thunderbird, but should be introduced soon.
