Information: For all, having the same problem after the installation of the KB4045655 (Security Update for Exchange) as described in my previous blogpost --> on my test environment, the issues are gone after installation of the Exchange 2016 CU8.

What's new: Exchange 2016 CU8 (quotes from Exchange Team Blog)
.NET framework 4.7.1 is now fully supported. Currently this is an optional item, but will be required with a future CU. Plan accordingly! Customers should test, verify and install CU8 then move to update to .NET 4.7.1 which will be required for the June 2018 CU install. --> ATTENTION: .NET 4.7 is not supported, it is only .NET 4.7.1 after the install of CU8!
CU8 introduces a change in TLS and cryptography settings. Previous CUs would overwrite a custom configuration. TLS and cryptography is now configured at install time and future CUs should not overwrite customisations .
Hybrid Modern Authentication (not HAM) provides users the ability to access on-premises applications using authorisation tokens obtained from Office 365. These OAuth tokens allow access to authenticate against on-premises Exchange.
If you are in an environment where Exchange 2016 coexists with Exchange 2010, then please also review Exchange 2010 SP3 RU19 as you will need to install that update on Exchange 2010 to resolve a proxy issue.
As per Active Directory Forest Functional Levels for Exchange Server 2016, it was announced that Exchange Server 2016 would enforce a minimum 2008R2 Forest Functional Level requirement for Active Directory. Cumulative Update 7 for Exchange Server 2016 will now enforce this AD DS requirement.
