Please talk to your workplace's system administrator. I am regularly
able to use GNOME Online Accounts to add Google accounts for work or
school that don't have @gmail.com domains.

One other thing to try is whether you are able to add the account to
your mobile phone.

I think we should close this bug because I don't think this is
something that is broken in Debian or can be fixed in Debian.

Thank you,
