Since I'm running a very similar configuration, I'll take a stab at it.
With  said combination,  every time Evolution shuts down and
restarts,  it reverts to attempting to useOAuth2 for all Google
connections, regardless of how it was configured when you shut it
down.  So everytime you start up Evolution, you have to re-edit the
preferences to turn off OAuth2 and restart  password/login.
Yet. even doing that, there are some Google calendars that only  accept
OAuth2  connections so you always have an error bar at the top and no
calendar availabilty.
