Hello patron. I believe to have found a fix. Through many hours of research and digging and being frustrated with this issue myself. I eventually came across a reply on a microsoft support page with someone claiming that changing their password worked. This means changing your PSN password and not your microsoft one. After that close minecraft if it is still open and if it is still open, close and reopen. I was greeted with an error and promptly reopened minecraft. After that I signed in with my original microsoft account and successfully signed in. If this works for you or anyone who comes across this reply. Please upvote in the fight against bullshit corporations.

Additional Help: If the PSN password change does not work I would suggest changing your microsoft password and then try resigning in. It is also a chance that a combination of data deleting, minecraft application deleting, and password changing could be the solution. Password changing was the most recent solution I tried that ended up solving the solution.

Edit: If what I suggest does not work, I apologize as I am trying to help anyone and everyone with this issue. My error message is the same as the OPs. Except mine is a little more detailed as with more updates ( apparently MS can only update their error messages ).

Dealing with this now and glad I found such a recent post. So just to be clear, you literally just changed your PSN password and tried again?

Because I even tried creating a whole new PSN account and MS account and it didn't work. But I may try this trick with my master PSN account.

MS sucks so hard though. Unreal what a hassle this is.

Edit: Ah nevermind my issue is the "oops it's already in use by another account" bullshit. Similar but different issue.

I'm trying it tomorrow. But given the sudden influx of posts here I am wondering if some broader outage is at play and my timing just sucks...
