For problem accounts the go to way to sort things out is to delete the account, then add it back.
Remove email accounts in Mail on Mac
Remove email accounts in Mail on Mac - Apple Support
Add email accounts in Mail on Mac - Apple Support
Add email accounts in Mail on Mac - Apple Support
Note—
• IMAP accounts stay on the server, so no local loss, when you re-sync
• POP accounts download and remove from the server—therefor save your inbox/sent box if you want them
• "On My Mac" is just that, local folders you created and moved mail into. So no loss
if you still have an issue here verify you have Safari set as the default browser and test...
You can try the Mail set up wizard Mail - Official Apple Support

Follow the previous suggestion and check in your Keychain for the Old Hotmail Password and remove it.
