If you don't wanne use a form of 2FA, it could be impossible to identify
hacked accounts before they spam.

The nature of a hacked account is, that the attacker has obtained the
credentials from a PC and it's mailprogram oder via phising. In both
cases, they have a valid set of credentials, do not produce any login
error ( bruteforcing ) and their first login is most likely the moment
they start spamming.

A 2FA could add the IP to a database(file) and you only accept mails
from ips in this list + credentials. The 2FA could be a Website to login
or an android app.

I i.e. used something different: an ip-account-timeframe threshold to
detect botnets, which kicks them reliable at 2 AM before they can spam ;)
