And I don't know that 90 chars is the be all, end all either. Surely 128 should cover it. I don't blame you for not wanting to do it, and I'm not sure why a 16 char "master password" suffices, but device specific passwords generate as 90 chars.

Similarly, the morning of May 21 a had a BRX that sent its last email. It was the only site I still had on Gmail. For this site I elected to create their own Brevo account, as I didn't need the volume going through my own account. While I have it working now, It wasn't as easy as my other sites were. Along the way, I thought it might be useful to create site specific SMTP keys, instead of using the same master password for all. However, that creates a 90 character password, which is how my question came up earlier. So, back to using the same shorter password for all. Not sure why the master password is shorter than the device specific, but hey, it works again.
  Could you elaborate a bit more on how you got this to work? I've created the free Brevo account and linked my brx email account to it. Not quite sure how to proceed now.
   I have 3 different BRXs sending to this same email address, and one of them just quit working, the other 2 are fine, so I'm really not sure what is going on.

Sending TO or sending FROM that Brevo account?
I retract my earlier statement that half of all politicians are crooks.  Half of all politicians are NOT crooks.  There.

So I did have a bit more difficulty with the latest Brevo account I setup, the customer ended up registering for a domain name and we DNS authenticated that as an authorized sender from Brevo. Since then it has been working flawlessly.

Keep in mind this email address is only an outbound SMTP gateway, for sending FROM BRX to anyemail@anyaddress.com

Basically, yes, that's how it works. I would word it BRX to Gmail via Brevo's SMTP gateway.
