Someone hacked Tbird email acct.
What exactly makes you believe your account has been hacked?
Hundreds of mailer daemons
What's more likely is that a spammer used your email address to send spam messages to random recipients, and now you do get the undeliverable notifications. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backscatter_%28email%29
how do I fix this?
Wait until it stops. In the mean time you may want to filter those messages.
