That outlook sends via exchange is moot .. exchange is an MTA that
supports some closed protocols other than smtp.
What I am talking about is doing remote delivery - looking up an MX
record, making a smtp connection to the remote host and delivering
mail.
Not handing off mail to a configured smarthost (whether smtp or some
other protocol is moot) is not "direct to MX"
