I have received an email from Microsoft on five out of seven of my outlook.com accounts which informs me :-

The safety and security of your information is top priority for Microsoft. To help keep your account secure, Microsoft will no longer support the use of third-party email and calendar apps which ask you to sign in with only your Microsoft Account username and password. To keep you safe you will need to use a mail or calendar app which supports Microsoft’s modern authentication methods. If you do not act, your third-party email apps will no longer be able to access your Outlook.com, Hotmail or Live.com email address on September 16th.

Is this correct or a scam. If correct, will Thunderbird be OK?

Yes, you're okay with Thunderbird if you are using the specified Microsoft input and SMTP servers and OAUTH2. The Microsoft link even spoke to the specific Thunderbird changes:

Many users were already okay, but this is a notice for those still using 'normal password' This URL also provides that:
