Ok so this one had me stumped for a LONG time trying to figure out how to get scanners to authenticate to office 365 in the end i found out that the scanner i was using wasnt supported in this format so i found this work around hope it helps you!

You basically need to create an smtp relay on a local server / computer to forward your scans to then set the smtp relay up as below which will then do the authentication part for you.

 

SMTP relay settings for Office 365

To configure an SMTP relay in Office 365, you need the following:

• A user who has an Exchange Online mailbox
• The SMTP set to port 587
• Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption enabled
• The mailbox server name

To obtain SMTP settings information, follow these steps:

1. Sign in to Outlook Web App.
2. Click Options, and then click See All Options.
3. Click Account, click My Account, and then in the Account Information area, click Settings for POP, IMAP, and SMTP access.Note the SMTP settings information that is displayed on this page.

Configure Internet Information Services (IIS)

To configure Internet Information Services (IIS) so that your LOB programs can use the SMTP relay, follow these steps:

1. Create a user who has an Exchange Online mailbox. To do this, use one of the following methods:
   • Create the user in Active Directory Domain Services, run directory synchronization, and then activate the user by using an Exchange Online license.Note The user must not have an on-premises mailbox.
   • Create the user by using the Office 365 portal or by using Microsoft Online Services PowerShell Module, and then assign the user an Exchange Online license.
