I had the same issue with my son's Minecraft on PS4. Minecraft support couldn't help and referred me here.
It was a struggle, but I finally resolved it. Here are my steps, which I hope will save time for someone else:
The first thing I noticed was that, when logging into my son's MS Live account, there was a continuous refreshing loop at account.live.com. To fix it, I recovered the account here: https://account.live.com/acsr.
Then, I followed the PS4 instructions to sign in with Microsoft by entering a code at aka.ms/remoteconnect. Instead of confirming my identity by getting a single-use code, I changed the method to confirming by password.
After I entered the password, everything went smoothly, and the login worked without any errors, finally.
