I use mailbox.org because both proton and tuta do not support IMAP, which is generally needed to use a 3rd party client. Mailbox.org is also pretty cheap and is pretty private as far as the non-E2EE providers go. And in terms of E2EE it is going to be used so rarely that is basically doesn't matter, the type of person that would use tuta/proton would probably be willing to setup PGP with you, and E-mail isn't a secure communications platform anyways, so you might as well just use Signal, XMPP, briar, etc...

Use Proton’s Bridge for SMTP/IMAP

I don't want to have to use their stupid little bloated software just to send and read E-mails in a client of my choosing.

I suspect their encryption scheme falls outside the SMTP/IMAP protocols hence the requirement for an application to decrypt/encrypt the message before being delivered to and from your desired email reader.

Thunderbird doesn’t know how to decrypt/encrypt an email if it isn’t given the tools to do so 🤷‍♂️
