My institution did the same.  I use gnus.  The easiest solution, in the
end, for me was to install and run davmail to get my emails from the
institution.  I then use pop (could have used imap but I prefer pop in
any case) to get email from "localhost" running davmail.  Davmail takes
care of multi-factor authentication for me.
