You might do better on the evolution mailing list (now in Cc), or just
bugzilla.

I don't think Evolution ever got RFC6186 support. See discussion at
https://git.gnome.org/browse/evolution/tree/src/mail/e-mail-autoconfig.c#n18

It might make a decent GSoC project.

It would also be useful to delegate the various protocols' autodiscover
mechanisms to the back ends, instead of having protocol-specific
knowledge for EWS, ActiveSync, IMAP and other stuff hard-coded into
Evolution itself.
