Laravel 6.6 tested. Overwrite validateLogin in your LoginController.php

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\User;
use Illuminate\Validation\ValidationException;

......

/**
 * Validate the user login request.
 *
 * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
 * @return void
 *
 * @throws \Illuminate\Validation\ValidationException
 */
protected function validateLogin(Request $request)
{
    // Get the user details from database and check if user is exist and active.
    $user = User::where('email',$request->email)->first();
    if( $user && !$user->activation){
        throw ValidationException::withMessages([$this->username() => __('User has been desactivated.')]);
    }

    // Then, validate input.
    return $request->validate([
        $this->username() => 'required|string',
        'password' => 'required|string',
    ]);
}
