According to the documentation is entering the GMail mail address and password enough to let Thunderbird configure the access to the IMAP service of GMail.
That has been disabled since at least a year. You need OAuth2.
According to the documentation you only need these two items and Thunderbird will do the rest. I tried it on another 15.5 system and it works for another GMail account. And yes IMAP has been enabled in the GMail account, which also works on the smartphone.
After entering the email address and password, where the name of the user already is present, the blue button Continue does not get activated. On the other system with the other GMail account that button did its work.
Maybe you have javascript disabled. It is needed. It is in the config editor.
I do not know what you mean by the config editor, but I added the javascript extension in Firefox, did not find a javascript extension in Thunderbird, but did a reboot and now the Continue button in Thunderbird works. Shouldn't Thunderbird show a warning or document that javascript is needed to perform this automated configuration?
In gmail web page, you may have that computer disabled.
If you have a phone associated with the address, you may get a question whether to authorize the new computer or new software, in the phone. If not, you may get it on the recovery mail account.
