Microsoft authentication requires a client ID, which the package in Nixpkgs does not currently contain.

Register an app, following the instructions at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/develop/quickstart-register-app (make sure that you've set up a tenant as mentioned in the prerequisites)
Restrict it to personal accounts
Do *not* add a redirect URI, platform, credentials, certificates, or client secrets
Enable public client flows
Enable Live SDK support (under authentication)

You can then override the MultiMC package to include your client ID:

(multimc.override { msaClientID = "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"; })
