How can I set up the backend server to send mails with my custom outlook domain and outlook SMTP server?

Having recently rebranded our site and simultaneously migrated our mail from gmail to outlook, I am now trying to send auto-emails using the outlook SMTP host with our new custom domain name. These are the email settings I have in my backend- the email host as smtp.live.com the email port as either 587 or 25 and the TLS set to True. However I am having no success.   

I'm guessing that there is something I still need to do within the Outlook web app, but i'm not sure.

I am getting Error 3204 0x8DE20003, cannot send or receive.

This seems to be a very common issue, yet no publically available solutions, meaning some backend server settings, so a post stating that you need to contact support and ask your own question to get it fixed would be helpful for people looking for a resolution.

 

Running 64-bit Windows 7...the problem just inexplicably starts.  I've run the repair function from the Programs menu in the Control Panel, logged out/logged in, etc.
