Yes there is! I also work in a project in collaboration with a US
government agency (the spacy one), where everything moved to Office365
and OAuth2. Until recently you could still access mail through IMAP but
that has been removed. Still, there is even an official manual how to
access E-Mail on a Linux machine through Evolution and EWS using OAuth2.
But ever since the option of a username and password login for the
OAuth2 page has been deemed not secure enough, we now need to use the
smartcard login.

Given that the agency is full of scientist, who work with Linux
computers, I presume support for smartcards would greatly be appreciated.

BTW, Chromium connects fine to the Office365 portal using smartcard
login, a soon as the opensc-pkcs11.so module is loaded.
