You might be able to use a "normal" (TOTP-compliant / Google Authenticator-like) 2FA app even with Microsoft work accounts. One of the prompts to download MS Authenticator has a "use a different app" option:

Microsoft Authenticator set-up prompt, titled "Start by getting the app". It reads: "On your phone, install the Microsoft Authenticator app. Download now. After you install the Microsoft Authenticator app on your device, choose Next." Below this there are Next and Cancel buttons with a text link reading "I want to use a different authenticator app" immediately above.

I assume admins can disable it, but it's also easy to miss. On top of this, this prompt only shows up when attempting to add a new MS Authenticator, since there is no "other app" option among the authenticator type choices.
