I have exchange online account

there I have one email user and in that I have enabled SMTP AUTH,

so from my nodejs app 

 domain: 'smtp.office365.com',
        port: '25',
        fromEmail: 'email',
        password: 'pass'

I am receiving following error

Invalid login: 535 5.7.3 Authentication unsuccessful.

and when I checked signin logs

I am getting this error: Access has been blocked by security defaults

I tried everything but seems like nothing is working.

    Hello,

    SMTP has since been depreciated by default (security defaults). You will need to utilize OAuth 2.0 as seen in the article cited below.

    We've already started making this change. We now create new Microsoft 365 tenants with Basic authentication in Exchange Online turned off, because Security defaults is enabled for them.

    Authenticate an IMAP, POP or SMTP connection using OAuth
