Pretty sure, it's the issue with Yahoo¹ ², nothing to do with Thunderbird.
Yahoo is following the same path as GMail, forcing their users to use 
web browsers as mail clients.
In case of GMail you have to use same generated "app-password" for both 
IMAP and SMTP services.
I guess the same principle will be for Yahoo.
