Is it possible to control this setting (New Outlook) for users?

Yes, https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/video-hub/the-new-outlook-for-mac-under-the-hood/m-p/1681528 covers that

@Chris yes and no...

You can use "com.microsoft.Outlook"
Key: EnableNewOutlook
Data Type: Integer

However, the only possible values are:
0 = Switch hidden (default) 1 = Switch displayed, default off 2 = Switch displayed, default on 3 = New Outlook enabled with switch hidden

In our case where the "New Look" has issues with Shared Maibloxes and some Security Software we really need:
4 = New Outlook disabled with switch hidden
