My situation is similar: I can access the Exchange server by IMAP, thus
I'm able to read the mails with Gnus. I can also send mails by SMTP (via
the Exchange server) but only for corporate mail addresses (i.e. people
in our house or people in our corporate WAN); the Exchange server
doesn't act as an SMTP relay for external addresses which means I have
to send those mails by using Outlook again. :-(

Same here. We really need full MS Exchange support for Gnus.
