Setup HomePod with Managed Apple ID

I have the same issues that was previously raise here Setup HomePod with Managed Apple ID - Apple Community but it would not let me reply to that thread.

I use an Education iPad/ iPhone with Managed Apple ID. I need to setup a HomePod but during setup, asks me to review account security. MFA is already setup on my Managed Apple ID, complex password in place and no other option to add more security. Is it just because it's a Managed Apple ID? Will this prevent me from setting up a HomePod?

problems setting up homepod mini Hello, I bought a HomePod mini for a friend, visited them to set it up and ran into problems. The problem: When setting up new HomePod mini with an iPad 5th Gen (iPadOS 15.6.1, up to date), I get the following message: "To continue, set up the following on your iPhone. Two-factor Authentication, Sign into iTunes" The iPhone in question is an iPhone 6. Apple states the minimum requirement for HomePod mini setup is iPhone 6S. Two-factor authentication is On. And I have signed into the iTunes Store , signed up for an Apple Music subscription (6 months free trial). I tried signing out of iCloud on the iPhone, to try and remove it from the setup process, but I can't remember if I restarted it (as mentioned elsewhere). Perhaps not. When attempting setup again, the iPad continued to prompt me to continue setup on the iPhone, even though I had signed out of iCloud. My questions are: Shouldn't I be able to set up the HomePod with the iPad alone? When I return to my friends house, if I sign out of iCloud / iTunes Store on the iPhone 6, and restart the iPhone, is this likely to work / is this the accepted, proven fix? Any thoughts, insights much appreciated.
