Backport request

This is a backport of #47656 to 6.1-dev.

Why backport

SMTP OAuth2 support is needed in production environments where basic auth is disabled.
Backporting allows earlier adoption without waiting for the next minor stream.

Scope

Same functional scope as #47656:

  • smtpoauth2 mailer option
  • OAuth2 token flow in Global Configuration
  • Microsoft/Google/Custom provider handling
  • Microsoft tenant mode (common vs specific tenant)
  • SMTP XOAUTH2 integration in MailerFactory

Risk/compatibility

  • Changes are additive around mail transport configuration.
  • Existing non-OAuth mailer paths (mail, sendmail, smtp) remain intact.

Looks good to me. Just one thing because I know this will be a discussion. As far as I see it, we could remove the refrence to a specific provider and still keep the functionality. We try to keep the cms out of a vendor relation. Do you think that would be an option?

For sure we could; I just wanted to keep config as simple as it could be, so I pre-configured google and microsoft for an easy implementation. Should I remove it or can we keep it to make config more easy?
