I was having that same issue with the flatpak version of Evolution

I wound up installing Gnome-Online-Accounts and then rebooted and that
seemed to fix setting up my Google Workplace account, and my free gmail
account.

I am using MATE btw...

On the SMTP server I set Evolution SMTP Authentication to "LOGIN"
instead of O Oath and it seems to be working fine for me.
