That would indicate to me that the user was using MAPI, and then (for some reason, e.g. network issue) shifted to RPC over HTTPS (Outlook Anywhere), and the prompt came up (as Outlook is probably now connecting to a site in a non-Intranet zone, or is using Basic Auth). Has nothing to do with ActiveSync being enabled.
If you disable Outlook Anywhere (as you did), then when Outlook does disconnect MAPI, it won't be able to establish the Outlook Anywhere connection, and therefore no prompt to the user. However, the user would be disconnected until the MAPI connection could be re-established.

Once we disabled Outlook Anywhere, via GPO, the users were no longer prompted for a user name and password. One user was still having issues with the credentials prompt and found out that they had a stored credentials for Outlook. Once we removed them, they no longer received the prompt.

We've had that issue before with several users that didn't have activesync enabled (only certain users have this enabled) and Outlook anywhere enabled.

Sometimes it will go a couple of hours before prompting Google-Fu has shown this is not unheard of. I have tried clearing the credential manager stuff but that has had no effect.
