Usually bounced emails contain an error indicating the reason for the bounce... can you share that?

This is O365 recommendation for that error. Basically it seems that he user is being blocked because of sending spam. This will tell you how to unblock the sender

If the user believes they haven't been sending spam themselves, it's possible that their PC has been compromised with malware. I've seen this happen when a user opened an unsafe pdf file in Adobe Reader (which has insecure settings by default) and the resulting malware seemed to be able send spam through the Offfice365 email account setup in Outlook on the computer.
That is something you will need to look into, but following the instructions will at least get the user email again.
