Connect Python Script to O365 Email Address Using Azure-Identity

Question

I am trying to migrate my simple python script that accesses an O365 email account using basic auth to modern auth:

Here's the current setup.

import exchangelib as exch

credentials  = exch.Credentials('my_username', 'my_password')
configInfo   = exch.Configuration(server='smtp.office365.com', credentials=credentials)
tz           = exch.EWSTimeZone.localzone()
account      = exch.Account(primary_smtp_address='my_email_address', config=configInfo, autodiscover=False, access_type=exch.DELEGATE)

It works fine. From here I can access items such as account.inbox to iterate emails, etc.

Moving to Azure Identity, my devops team assigned me the following:

a registered app in the Azure Portal
an app ID
an object ID
a tenant ID
a secret value ID
a secret key ID
an https://ps.outlook.com/ URL

I've run this...

  pip install azure-identity

And now I can run this...

from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential   

# Now what? A service client perhaps?

I'm at a loss as to what comes next. My goal is to authenticate using the IDs above, then create an account object as before, and continue processing. Can anyone help? Thank you.
