If the Allow Office to connect to the Internet check box is unavailable, it is

because the UseOnlineContent setting in the registry is set to the value 0. The
UseOnlineContent setting is located in one of the following registry key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\x.0\Common\Internet

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\x.0\Common\Internet

DWORD: UseOnlineContent

Value:

0 - Do not allow user to access Office resources on the Internet (check box is
cleared and unavailable).
1 - Allows the user to opt in to access of Office resources on the Internet (check
box is cleared).
2 - (Default) Allows the user to access Office resources on the Internet (check box
is selected).

Only fix for me was to add/edit registry key:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Common\Identity]
"DisableADALatopWAMOverride"=dword:00000001

1. Remove the user profile from advanced properties.

2. Restart PC and create new outlook profile:

Note: After a Microsoft fix for this issue is released, you should remove this
registry workaround, or authentication experiences may be degraded. This reg value
should not be used as a long-term solution.

You could probably clean the information stored in the windows registry
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\Profiles to mitigate the
issue instead of rolling the complete user profile.
