Having an account on an Exchange server doesn't automatically mean you
have SMTP access to that server.    Some exchange servers don't have
SMTP running at all, and others will not allow SMTP access from local
IP addresses - even with authentication.

Can you telnet to your Exchange server on port 25 and start an SMTP
conversation, using the EHLO or HELO, MAIL and RCPT commands, but
quitting before the DATA command?  If you can successfully specify a
recipient, then your script should work,  if not you will need your
script to work around the problem based on what you do or don't get
back from the server.

HTH :)
