Yes. OAuth2 just gives a token that you use instead of a password. The critical thing is to get a hold of that token, and Evolution, being not just an email client, goes down the route of providing a full O365 experience that most corporate people will expect (calendar, addressbook, delegate/shared accounts, meeting invites, etc. etc.); it comes with the added benefit that for people who don't work in a corporate environment, it is a perfectly acceptable email interface. If you think that Evolution should provide OAuth2 for IMAP in these cases, then file a feature request. But my experience of using both EWS and IMAP with O365 is that IMAP feels like an afterthought, a "oh I suppose we should provide some form of imap interface" type thing. I wouldn't be at all surprised if IMAP becomes a deprecated O365 interface at some point in the future, much like app passwords are. Just bite the bullet and setup EWS in Evolution.
