Details

I need to use the --user-agent chromium option to access "Outlook Web App", but I can't put it into CHROMIUM_FLAGS because spaces are expanded by the shell.

I suggest to change the last line of chromium wrapper to use an array:
exec /usr/lib/chromium/chromium "${CHROMIUM_FLAGS[*]}" "$@"

So I can use CHROMIUM_FLAGS=("--user-agent=Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/22.0.1207.1 Safari/537.1") without any problem
This task depends upon
