If a creature with menace gets enchanted with Alpha Authority or similitude "only blocked by 1" effect, which ability applies?

Both!

The creature can’t be blocked except by two or more creatures because of meance. It also can’t be blocked by more than one creature because of Alpha Authority.

Since there’s no way for it to be blocked by two or more creatures as well as not more than one creature, it simply can’t be blocked.

To get a bit more nerdy for a second: The intersection of the sets of legal blockers for Menace and the set of legal blockers for Alpha Authority is the null set.
