If anyone else has this problem and they've turned on 2-step verification for outlook.com, look in outlook.com's Account Settings > Security, and you'll find how to get a one-off, application-specific password which you can then use instead of your normal account password.

In summar: my fault, not Calibre's.
Thank you! I've been trying to figure it out for 2 days and I feel stupid now for not realizing what was wrong. Dummy me
